Lansoprazole at 830, 2, and 530

Probiotic in mid-morning bottle

Pleasant. No huge naps.

945-230 (4hr45m) VERY difficult to get to settle back down, squirming all over the place, broke out of tight swaddle multiple times. Rolaids didn't help. Prevacid insomnia??
4-745 (3hr45m)
TOTAL 8hr30m

Thursday, 12/5/2013

Lansoprazole at 810, 3, and 6

Need to try to get that midday dose earlier. May have slight DGE as she continues to recover from last week's small bout of gastroenteritis.

Took a LONG time to completely settle down for the night. Rolaids helped a bit.

9-12 (3hr) (UP FOR THREE hours, some crying toward the end -- turned out to be gas/stomach pain)
315-715 (4hr)
TOTAL 7hr

Friday, 12/6/2013

Lansoprazole at 745, 1, and 5

Morning BM was shinier and stringier than normal. Still dealing with aftereffects of last week's stomach upset?

Pleasant, but had a hard time napping for more than 45 minutes (1 sleep cycle)

Probiotic in morning bottle

Added digestive enzymes (half a capsule) to some of the day's bottles

I think she may be dealing with this: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/561873

Fell asleep okay in my arms tonight but squirmed around once placed in bassinet. Hyoscyamine didn't help. Rolaids didn't, either.

Took forever to get down. :( Very uncomfortable. Squirming everywhere. Not sure what else I can do.

945-1030 (45m) one sleep cycle :( had a bottle and then a BM; seemed more comfortable afterward and fell asleep fairly easily afterward.
11-430 (5hr30m) had a bottle
545-730 (1hr45m)
TOTAL 7hr15m

Saturday, 12/7/2013

Lansoprazole @ 745, 4 (long nap prevented it being given earlier), and that's all.

Started digestive enzymes, 1/2 capsule in every bottle.

4oz at 815, 11, 430, and 630. No feeding issues at all.

Naps from 9-11 (woke halfway through for pacifier), 1230-4 (woke once at 130 for pacifier).

Went down WAY easier tonight, but was exhausted from Santa pictures this evening.

4-8 (4hr)
TOTAL 8hr

Saturday, 11/30/2013

Lansoprazole at 815, 4, and 6, probiotic in morning bottle

Some great naps (hence why the 2nd dose of lansoprazole was so late). Overall pleasant, ate well.

9-145 (4hr45m)
230-430 (2hr) (woke to have a BM, possible flare from delayed PPI doses today)
515-715 (2hr)
TOTAL 8hr45m

Sunday, 12/1/2013

Lansoprazole at 730, 230, and 530.

Probiotic in morning bottle.

Still having some reflux flares in the morning. 2ml of Rolaids helped her take a couple of decent naps. Seemed better by afternoon.

830-1130 (3hr) (woke to eat, possible flare) (physically refluxing more, be it acidic or not - probably residual from Friday's stomach upset)
1230-430 (4hr)
5-715 (2hr15m)
TOTAL 9hr15m

Monday, 12/2/2013

Probiotic in third bottle of the day. Very hungry. Good naps. Cranky if put down anywhere, awake.

Lansoprazole at 740, 2, and 615.

Fell asleep in my arms at 730, put down at 8, didn't actually settle and stop squirming/spitting out pacifier intermittently until 9. :(

9-12 (3hr)
1:15-2 (45m)
2:30-5 (2hr30m)
6-7 (1hr)
TOTAL 7hr15m

Terrible acid flares, some gasping, even a spit-up episode (something she rarely does). Rolaids helped a bit, but not for long. Just a mess.

I'm attributing the flares to her small bout of gastroenteritis on Friday night. Hopefully this will be over soon. Still giving Prevacid OTC capsules 10mg 3x's a day.

Tuesday, 11/26/2013

lansoprazole at 730, 2, and 6

TWO good naps, today. 11-2 and 3-6.

Pleasant overall. Ate well. Usually will take up to 4oz at a time, now.

Nighttime, still takes over an hour to get her to settle down. Will put her down in bassinet and she'll spit pacifier out or get hands up out of swaddle blanket. Pacifier will need to be put back in at least 10 times over the course of an hour before she'll fall completely asleep. No crying or severe discomfort, just a lot of squirming and turning her head from side to side.

830-5 (8hr30m!!!)
545-730 (1hr45m)
TOTAL 10hr15m

Wednesday

lan @ 730, 230, and 545

Continuing with KlaireLabs probiotic 1/4 tsp once a day in morning bottle

No long naps, but no super short ones either. Pleasant. Squirmy at night. Need to keep up with the simethicone in every other bottle, I think. Will try that tomorrow and see if it helps.

Lansoprazole at 9, 130, and 6

She must have gotten sick. A little congested, one eye a little crusted this morning. Fell asleep unswaddled in her chair at 1015. Woke up soon but is very lethargic. Still pleasant, smiling and not feverish.
Started KlaireLabs probiotic about 1/8tsp in morning, will increase to 1/4tsp gradually

Small catnaps throughout the day. Very cranky toward evening. Hyoscyamine seemed to help settle her down to fall asleep at night. No stirring at all once down for the night.

7-1115 (4hr 15m) very uncomfortable when woke, had a BM

515-745 (2hr30m)

Lansoprazole at 745, 3, and...?

Meeting with GI this morning. He said there isn't much more he can do for her at this point. Keep giving Prevacid and hyoscyamine occasionally. Also probiotic. He suggested thickening her bottles with 1tsp of rice cereal per ounce but I'm not sure I'm going to do it. Said for extreme cases where baby won't stop screaming he has prescribed a tricyclic antidepressant (not even going to go there) and also gabapentin (brand name Neurontin), which my husband takes for back pain and an ex boyfriend of mine took for OCD. Definitely not worth putting her on that when she has been sleeping and hasn't been *that* cranky. He said it's really a matter of waiting it out. Not really what I wanted to hear, but I'm glad she's doing as well as she is. I told him I feel bad complaining because she's still gaining well (she was a solid 12 pounds even today) and eating well, and she isn't screaming 24/7, and I know there are babies out there who are doing way worse than she is. I just hoped we'd find a magic cure-all so I wouldn't have to go through this with the hypothetical Baby#4.

Nora slept from 12 to 245 and decided to fall asleep for the night at 530.

530-9 (3hr30m)

Will try to give just the capsules from now on

(2hr) of really bad sleep until 4

Friday night was too awful to mention. Up every hour, just about, and very uncomfortable.

Saturday 11/16/2013

Slept uncomfortably in her chair much of the morning. No good naps in the afternoon. Dosed lansoprazole 3 times, not exactly sure when. Not sure what happened. Cried a bit.
