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
1230-430 (4hr)
515-745 (2hr30m)
TOTAL 10hr45m

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)
