Progress?

I told you that Trevor had gotten attacked by the big, bad, ugly, acid reflux monster. Well, his medication seems to be helping quite a bit, but it is still something he is struggling with for right now. (Translation - some days he still cries, a LOT). Most days he has been pretty content though.
The other thing, which I don't think I mentioned, is that the pediatrician said he could be lactose sensitive also. Therefore, since I am nursing him, I was supposed to stop eating ALL dairy products. This includes butter, cheese, cream soups, ect... I've went almost 2 weeks now without dairy, and I have to say that it is very hard! I never realized how much stuff has dairy in it! Oh, and I am supposed to avoid acid foods and foods with garlic and spices also. With this whole combination, I am pretty much left eating plain chicken, plain hamburgers, jello, and water or gatorade. So, yeah, I am considering switching to formula sometime in the near future.
The picture is of Trevor yesterday, May 3rd. I think he was learning what his fist was for the first time, and he was enjoying it!

Did you give any more thought to chiropractic for him? I hope he feels better soon!

Abby Mo - We decided to give the medicine a try first, and if the medicine didn't help and he didn't out grow this, then we'll consider another option. The doctor said that most babies outgrow it by at least a year of age. I did appreciate your advice, and although it makes sense, it still scares me to take my baby to a chiropractor at this point.
