hands up

L’s hobby for the past few weeks has been screaming inconsolably from 11pm until 4am, every night. We started trying to solve this by process of elimination.

Since I was allergic to cow’s milk as a baby and didn’t respond well to soy, we made two formula changes for L and wound up with meat-based formula.

When that didn’t work, we assumed it was colic since it happened the same time every night. Colic and anti-gas medicines, however, did not work.

Jumping at the chance to see the doctor again, we found it is most likely acid reflux. The doctor suggested Maalox/Mylanta to see if it quells the problem before moving to prescription medicine. It has.

Hopefully now we can get some sleep. We’ve been zombies.
