Happy Boy

To all of you who have been anxiously checking our blog for updates - sorry it has been so long! In the time since I've blogged last, we have turned a huge corner. Many of you know Breckin was struggling with his tummy. Starting around 6 weeks Breckin started fussing with nearly every feeding. After seeing the pediatrician, he was started on Prevacid with a diagnosis of acid reflux. After two weeks with no change, we went back where I informed her that his pooping habits had drastically changed - from 2-3 poops a day to 1 poop every 2-3 days. She said that this is not uncommon for babies and suggested we see a pediatric gastroenterologist. The specialist agreed with our pediatrician that it was indeed reflux and we should increase his Prevacid to three times a day.
Our babysitter, Kelly, with no medical degree but over ten years baby experience said she never knew a happy baby (especially the boys) who didn't poop every day. After 2 ounces of prune juice and a major colon cleanse, my boy is happy again! It is amazing what regular pooping will do for a baby's disposition! Thank you Kelly for convincing me that prune juice does indeed work wonders!
And now for some proof that our boy is much happier......
