A new regimen for Keenan

Keenan is back to his screaming self. We are puzzled and exasperated. He was doing good the past 2 weeks. He was happy, rarely crying, content. Now he is back to screaming and being inconsolable. We don't know what to do for him. His crying is awful because you can just tell he's in so much pain. He is also back to spitting up like crazy. Last time this happened they increased his reflux meds and that worked wonders. It's been 2 months since they increased it and although he was still spitting up some it wasn't a huge amount like it's been all week.

I thought about stopping breastfeeding and putting him on all soy formula. When I thought about it I decided against the drastic switch for now. If I did that and 2 weeks later he was still a mess I would be so upset that I gave up breastfeeding for nothing. I did a ton of online research and decided to try out a regimen I read about for colic/reflux recommended by different pediatricians. What we will be doing is giving Keenan 1/2 teaspoon of Mylanta. He can have it up to 4x's per day. Of course I don't really want to give it to him that much yet so we are going to do it on an as needed basis. He was screaming so bad all morning and went through 4 changes of clothes with his spit up. Part of the spit up too is that he's had a bad cold he can't kick and he is swallowing snot (gross but true because you see it in his spit up sometimes..nasty!). So I decided to give the Mylanta a whirl. I gave him 1/2 teaspoon, nursed him, burped him and he was HAPPY. He didn't even spit up. Weird. It's possible that it was a fluke but we'll see when he gets up from nap and the rest of the day what he's like. Wish us luck. It's heartbreaking watching your baby scream in pain and not being able to help him.
