Dr. Wood left a message last night...he had the lab do a special test on the blood so that he could get the results quickly...there was no acidosis and her lactic acid level dropped from 6 to 3.8 ...not sure what all that means, but he said he feels 100% better...so, I do too.
I started adding a little more oatmeal to her bottles yesterday...it seems to have helped so far. As long as she is not having burping difficulties, she is not crying when she eats anymore. Last night she took a 4 oz bottle without burping at all, and she was very uncomfortable while trying to eat...but, I think that was the cause and not the reflux. I only added a small amount of oatmeal...she now gets 3/4 tsp per 4 oz bottle. So, she can still successfully suck it out of the nipple. Her suck seems to be getting better, though I still have to help her make a good seal by holding her cheeks and chin and to give her some resistance by pulling on the bottle when she sucks.
She is still doing some smiling and cooing...so much fun! Her favorite time seems to be 10 pm til midnight...not exactly the time I would plan. We'll work on that. :)
