We have gotten a lot of notes from Asante's daycare saying he seems to be in pain, spitting up a lot and not eating/sleeping very well. We hadn't noticed these things at home, so didn't think much about it. However, Monday night Asante threw up after his Daddy gave him his bottle. (We have started him on one bottle at night of formula, to try to help him sleep) He was not upset at all, but most of the formula, if not all of it, came back up and went every where! Since Asante didn't seem bothered we didn't worry about it, and went to bed as normal. The following morning when I was nursing Asante before I left for work, he threw up again. He has never done that while nursing, so that is when we became a little concerned. We decided it would be best to call his doctor, and just see what they thought. The doctor we spoke with told us to go to the emergency room and have him looked at. She thought it could be an issue with his esophagus and we needed to have an ultrasound done. Asante and I headed to the ER. Pawpaw met us there, because Amar had to work. After hours of waiting, we finally had the ultrasound. The results came back normal, and everything in his little tummy look perfect :-) The doctor thought it was most likely acid reflux, and that we should try feeding him in more of an upright position. He also suggested that we try a different type of formula, and see if that helps. We have a follow up appointment with Asante's pediatrician, Dr. Cosgrove, on Friday. We shall see what he says, and go from there!
