Pediatrician visit

Today Cori had a previously unplanned visit to her pediatrician. It had been 7-10 days that she'd been acting off - lots of slimy spit up, some vomiting and diarrhea and major fussing at her feedings. At times, she'd scream her way through an entire bottle or refuse it. I spoke to Dr. Mary and she thought Cori may have reflux and wanted to see her.

So now Corinne is on baby Zantac twice a day. It should take about a week to see if it is helping. We also found out some other interesting things at the doctors:
  • Cori weights 14lbs 14ozs
  • Cori may have to have PT for her neck if she doesn't start looking to the left more. She's not using her muscles enough on that side, so we need to enforce tummy time (which she hates) and sitting in the Bumbo with toys to her left.
  • Both her reflux and neck issues will be assessed at her 4 month check up on the 24th this month.

And today she rolled over from belly to back at daycare. I guess that is how much she hates being on her tummy - she pushed that nearly 15lbs over to get back to her favorite position - stretched out on her back!

Good job Cori! Way to roll! :) What a nice healthy girl you are; your Mommy feeds you well.

See - she's meeting her milestones just fine! Heather didn't roll over until she was 4 1/2 months old. ;-)

I hope the zantac helps with her eating and sleeping. *fingers crossed*
