6 weeks old!
My little boy is 6 weeks old today! We took him to the pediatrician to talk to her about his weight gain and possible reflux today. We were happy to hear that she is not concerned about his weight gain. She said he is within the acceptable range, just on the low end...which is still ok. Today, he weighed 8 lbs 10 oz. We talked to her about his spitting up and we left with a prescription for Zantac. I'm not sure if we're going to start him on it just yet b/c he has actually done really well these past few days so we will see. She also recommended that I cut out some foods that are known to cause problems w/babies who breastfeed (nuts, eggs, milk) and see if that helps. I am beginning to wonder if maybe nuts are a problem b/c I was eating these peanut granola bar things and I think the last day I ate one was Tuesday...and he's been so much better since. Hmm? I was thinking it was milk b/c of one time I ate a lot of ice cream he spit up a lot...but who knows. Its so hard to tell. I'm going to try to cut these things out of my diet entirely and see what happens. Anyway, here are a few pics of my boy from today:

Precious!
Looking alot like his daddy in these pictures...
I hope the reflux goes away soon. Sydney choked on hers at 2 weeks old and freaked me out so bad. Even after that our doc NEVER even suggested medications. I think you are right to wait and see...I think we are turning to the meds way too fast for babies these days. All babies spit up...some worse than others granted, but it's been that way for ages. However...I'd understand if you used it...so many moms I know have had to and they thank GOD for those meds.
awww he has already changed so much! It goes by too fast! Our little guy is almost half a year old! Thats just crazy!
I hope the reflux gets better! I had to do some diet-changes because some of the kind of spicy foods made his tummy hurt and tomato sauce just never worked out for him. Anything to make our little guys feel better!
I love all of the pictures!
