Well, I am way overdue for an update! I did take Sarah to the Dr. on October 21st and he did say that she had reflux and put her on .6 ml of Zantac three times a day before a bottle. He also said to start mixing rice cereal (1 tsp per oz) in each of her bottles. She was eating about 4-5 oz when I took her in and he said to try her with 4 oz with the rice. We started the Zantac and rice that evening and I could already tell it was making her feel better and it helped tremendously with the reflux. By the way, she weighed 10 lbs 2 oz at the Dr. so she is gaining weight quickly.
Last week on Tuesday, November 1st I made the comment to Clint that I could tell that Sarah is staying awake a lot more during the day and that she was preparing to sleep through the night for me on her 6 week birthday. Little did I know that I was right and she slept through the night that night and has ever since then. She goes down around 10:30pm and will wake up around 6:30am. I am mainly just pumping so I can mix the rice cereal in her bottles so I know this is helping with her sleeping because there is more substance and I know how much she is getting at each feeding. Every time I try to nurse her she ends up spitting up a good bit, which is why I am mainly pumping now. Haines started sleeping through the night when he was 8 weeks old so they were pretty close. I hope I am not jinxing myself by bragging on my Sleeping Beauty!
Sarah is also starting to smile some, but not too often. It is happening more and more everyday and I can remember Haines was smiling pretty good around 8 weeks old. I feel like she is on the verge of smiling often. She is also starting to make some sweet cooing noises that I just love!!! The picture below was of her smiling, I wish her eyes were open but this was the best I could get. My camera’s shutter speed is way too low for babies and kids. Thankfully, Clint is letting me pick out a new nice camera for our anniversary!
