Marcel I just love hearing about you and Emilie and Moogli playing! Kids
and dogs are great, the perfect excuse to do the fun stuff.

Not even close to tiring her out. She was ready to go, but me, both grand-
parents and my mother-in-law's cousin were all ready for a nap.

It only happened once. As soon as it happened, he went to sleep on the
pillow.

Well, Sofia was regurgitating. A lot. Enough that the stomach acid was
irritating her throat and causing her to bleed, so she is now on infant
Zantac. It has dramatically reduced the amount of regurgitation going on.
Other than that, Gen and Sofia are doing well. Sofia is still on a 2-hour
cycle during the day, but it slows down to 3-4 hours at night. It is
tiring, but she is growing a lot.

Did the pediatrician mention anything about Pyloric Stenosis?

http://www.pedisurg.com/PtEduc/Pyloric_Stenosis.htm

One of my grandsons had it and he had surgery on 9/11 for it. Yes, *the*
9/11. He was born on August 15th, so it was just short of one month old
that it was finally diagnosed. You might want to check into that, Marcel.
I'd never heard of it before, but since he had it, I've had a couple other
people tell me their children also had the same thing. It usually effects
boys, but one of my friends had a son & daughter who both had it. The
surgery went very well, and he no longer spit up everything he ingested.

Poor Gen, it *is* exhausting being woken continually to feed the baby. Does
Sofia sleep with you? You know what Robin did when she had the twins? She
had been looking at -co-sleepers, and they were quite expensive, so I
suggested she check and see if she could use her crib in that fashion. They
were able to do that quite easily. One of the twins cribs was set up right
beside their bed, leaving one side off the crib. So the crib had both ends
and the far side, with the *bar-less* side slid right up beside their king
size bed. That way she could keep both twins right there, and just slide
them into her bed, feed them, and slide them right back into the crib.
Something else that might help, Marcel.

Give my best to Gen,

Nope, but Sofia spit up quite a bit when Gen brought her in to the Dr to
get looked at. The pediatric specialist at the hospital also saw the same
thing and they both said it is not vomiting, it is simple regurgitation.

Gen can't feed while lying down. Sofia doesn't latch on properly when she
does that. While it might make life easier for Gen in the short run, in
the long run it would make things much more painful. As it is, I get up
when Sofia wakes up and change her, give her to Gen, and then put her
(Sofia) back to bed after Gen is finished feeding. If Sofia is fussy, I
will stay up with her and let Gen sleep. I require a lot less sleep than
her, and can fall asleep a lot easier than her.

Sounds like what my daughter had - a valve that is supposed to keep
stomach contents from backwashing into the esophagus is loose or floppy.

My daughter spit up a lot. My female BC, Molly, could hear a wet burp
from the other end of the house and would come on the run. She thought
the kid was some kind of automatic yogurt dispenser. Blech.

Anyway, my mom, a pediatric nurse, said it's pretty common and it
corrects itself once the child starts to crawl, which evidently helps to
tighten that valve. And that was our experience as well.

It's just as well not to feed her laying down. Being held in a near
vertical position keeps more of the milk where it's supposed to be.

You are a good man Marcel, and a good husband and father. So, all that nap
time was practicing! It has served you well.
