Oscar update

We went to our pediatrician yesterday as the antacid medication didn't seem to be working. Oscar checked out ok and was given a much higher does of Zantac. Our pediatrician explained that the dose they had given us at the hospital was really small. He also said that it is fairly common for babies with reflux to regurgitate onto their larynx which causes a spasm and they stop breathing momentarily. Wish we had seen him before. Apparently he works in the Chidlren's hospital 3 days a week so they could have sent him to see us. Anyway, better safe than sorry.

Oscar seems much better on the higher antacid dose. It seems that 75% of babies get some form of reflux at some point.
