WEEK NINETEEN
So, as it turns out my little Oliver probably has GER or Gastroesophageal Reflux. After coming to the conclusion something else was going on besides teething, my husband and I decided to take him to the doctor. Turns out he pretty much had all the symptoms for reflux. We have since started him on medication and hopefully we will see an improvement and he can find some comfort. I read online that elevating the crib at one end can help as well, so we're also trying that. Oliver has started taking a liking to his cereal. Now when we feed him he opens his mouth up wide anticipating the next bite. It's really quite cute. And he is getting so big. He's so long now that he is wearing 12 month
clothing. Yup, you heard me right! It's amazing how fast they grow, and I find it a little sad that I'm beginning to forget what it was like to hold him as a wee baby. It is such an exciting stage though. He has become so much more observant and curious about everything. I bought a Heart to Heart sling to use when he's awake and wants to be held on my hip. I like the sling for this purpose because of the extra padding and structure. This way he gets to watch as I do things like make his bottles, which he seems to be fascinated by.
