My tummy has been driving me crazy! At first, I had a hard time pooping. I finally got that figured out, and then Mommy noticed that I was making a lot of gulping noises and arching my back a lot. She did some research online and realized I probably have silent reflux. Silent reflux is a lot like regular acid reflux, except that I dont spit up. Instead, when the acid travels up my esophagus, I swallow it back down. In the long term it can cause damage to my esophagus. She took me to the doctor and the doctor prescribed me Zantac.
When I dont feel well, Grandma Gale gives me tummy time on my Boppy pillow. She always helps my tummy feel better.
I dont like taking my Zantac, because it is peppermint flavored and has alcohol in it. Mommy is going to see if a compounding pharmacy can remove the alcohol and give me a flavorless version. In addition, Mommy and Dad elevated my bassinet mattress and I get held upright for at least 15 minutes after eating.
I usually fall right asleep when held upright after eating. Here I am snoozing away happily. Hopefully the Zantac will make me feel better soon!
