A hair trigger on the puke button

Let me explain. Cailyn was sick last weekend with a stomach bug, some vomit etc. Well now I'm thinking that aggrevated her reflux because on Tuesday and Thursday this week if something didn't sit right or go down right it ALL comes back up.

I was very concerned this morning when she woke up with a dry diaper. That's not supposed to happen and she was possibly dehydrated. We went to the pediatrician's office and the nurse said she wasn't dehydrated and tested and said no bladder or UTI. So we are back to basic food, oatmeal, fruit, water, pedialyte etc. She has not been wanting to take bottles but seems to be getting the hang of the sippy cup. I'd love to phase out formula all together because a few of the incidents this week were right after a bottle of formula.

So we'll see the doctor tomorrow and she'll probably go back on a full dose of reflux meds, unless he comes up with a better idea why this is happening. She lost a half pound since Monday and had lost a little in the weeks before that as well. She should weigh about 24lbs now at 1 year and she's only at 21.5.

All and all pretty content though and she's taking a nap with the babysitter now. She seems to be in good spirits.
