Gavin's 1 month check-up

Gavin went for his 1 month check up today.  On the list of things to talk to his doctor about were sleeping habits, horrible nasal congestion and reflux.  At one month:
1.  Weight: 8 pounds 11.5 oz (20th percentile)
2.  Length: 21 1/4 inches(45th percentile)
3.  Head: 14 1/2 inches(20th percentile)

We started Gavin on Zantac for reluc two weeks ago.  Although he is puking much less, his inflammation in his throat and nose is worse.  The doctor suggested we could increase his Zantac dose a bit more but we are going to just hang where we are at with his meds and see if things improve.  He is still on oral nystatin for thrush.

Gavin peed all over the pediatrician two weeks ago and today at the office he peed all over their floor!  The doctor joked that he had better not make it a tradition!  I am taking Gavin to the chiropractor tomorrow to see if an adjustment will make any difference in his sleep habits.  Right now he sleeps from 8:30p.m. to midnight then is up about every hours until 5:30 a.m.  I am trying to just ride it out knowing that he is only going to be this small for a little while but I am also anxious to help him rest better!

  1. Poor little guy with the reflux. Funny about him peeing for the second time! I never heard of a baby going to a chiropractor, hope it works.
