Well, Josiah’s in the full throes of reflux. He started spitting up pretty bad at church yesterday. Mark and I are noticing that he is getting a little more fussy after eating and then burping (which he does a lot of and is another sign of reflux). I also didn’t know that hiccuping a lot is a sign of reflux…he does that a whole lot. He’s not screaming in pain and he’s still sleeping fairly well at night (except last night when we heard him refluxing and then woke up crying). Sleep during the day has not been so great but that could also be because of his sweet siblings who go full force during the day.

We’re kind of waiting to call the doctor and hoping this is a mild form of reflux since most of the symptoms have just started showing up. I don’t want to have to use medicine unless necessary. I’m waiting to see the hoarse voice and screaming in pain which would be good signs he’s in a lot of discomfort.

I would alter my diet but if my pregnancy reflux is any indication, a ton of different foods are causing him to have reflux. I would have to be reduced to eating bread only to keep him from refluxing.

I was a bit miffed because he hasn’t had any major problems (minus the hiccuping) until now. However, when I looked up when it could manifest the information I found said it could be between 1 to 3 months when symptoms could be noted….and Josiah is 3 1/2 weeks old. That’s just different for us. We noticed Liam’s symptoms from birth. He would spit up and choke a lot due to the reflux and was promptly diagnosed at 4 weeks.

For now, it’s just a wait and watch.
