Second Doctor Visit – December 18, 2007

We noticed that Madeline was crying and screaming at certain times during the day (usually 2 pm and 11 pm). There was no consoling her and she refused to lay flat on her back. She would scream and cry and end up throwing up. She also had been making noises in her throat that sounded like she was spitting up, but nothing would come out. We weren’t sure what was going on, so being new parents, we took her to the doctor. Luckily our doctor is great…they were completely booked the following day, but squeezed us in and sat and talked to us for over a half an hour.

The doctor said we were doing everything right, that some babies are just fussy. He said it was too early for colic, so he thought that it could be reflux. If it got worse, we were to let him know, as he didn’t want to put Madeline on medication unless we absolutely had to. We left the doctor’s office feeling better knowing that we were doing everything we could.
