Yes, I'm old enough to have lived through the disco era. Some of you reading this might have no idea what the title and above sentence is in reference to, unless you know your 70's music trivia. I find it funny with a different meaning of the song, not going out to party, but staying up long hours. Like say all night long with some fussy babies. Hmmm.... Ok enough dorkiness, I have to have some comic relief on the situation, so you'll have to excuse my humor.
Anyway, we've been battling with Hannah's spitting up and throwing up for a while now, we've been re-assured by the doctor that this is common and okay since she is gaining weight. However this is becoming a real annoyance as for the past few days she's been throwing up a lot lately and with her crying session today it makes me wonder if she has GER (Gastroesophageal reflux) or what is commonly known as acid reflux. Most babies will outgrow this by the age of 3 months or by 1 yr old it will be completely gone (I can't imagine living with this for a full year! Poor baby!!!). Hannah will hit the 3 month mark by Friday and it looks like it's getting worse. When I read the BPN (Berkeley Parents Network) forums and a bunch of other online perturbed parents' forums I find that their doctors react the same way unless it seriously affects the child such as weight loss. LAME!
I found some tips online that may help, however we have been doing it to some extent. I guess we'll have to be more strict with our methods. 1 - sit the baby up for 30 mins after feeding, 2 - keep baby's head elevated during sleep time, and 3 - smaller feedings given more often.
I guess with all the late night battles it finally took it's toll on Derek and he's caught a cold (he's actually feeling better today). As for me I'm tired as heck and I hope I don't get sick, because we all know when I get sick I get it really bad. I also hope the babies don't get sick too!!! 'Tis the season :(
Hannah sucking on her fist, "YUM!" Sophie chillin' in the pink bumbo. They both seem to like the bumbos and can sit quietly for some time in it.
Sophie waving to daddy. Hannah's turn to chill.
