Hi all. Things are going well at Casa de Passalaqua. Jack had his weight check appointment yesterday. He is now up to 8 lbs 12 oz (we pretty much knew that since we have a scale at our house). We talked to the doc about his reflux, and he said it's fairly common in younger babies. We got the OK to add a little rice cereal to his milk/formula to thicken it up. That will help to keep the food in his belly and not splashing up into his throat. It seemed to do some good last night, as he seemed to sleep a little more soundly. I'm going to either contruct a matress wedge or buy one so that he will sleep with his head slighly elevated, that is supposed to help as well (and we'll be able to put him in his crib.
Today he has an appointment to get his RSV vaccination. Then no more trips are planned for a couple weeks. Jack got to visit with Aunt DeAnna the other day. She stopped by after some meeting she had in Roseville. This weekend Grandma and Grandpa Passalaqua are going to be swinging in for a visit.

Hi Curt and Mary,
ReplyDeleteSam did the reflux thing that turned into a gas thing. We propped the front two legs of the crib -- cheap and easy. When it turned into gas, we did the infant belly massage, which strangely worked everytime . . . I am sure you're sick of advice, so hope this doesn't comea cross as assvice.

WOW! Jack is getting big. Still need to make a visit to meet him. Girls said they could play "mom" for a day to let Mary rest. LOL
