That Darn Heartburn

Sitting up in her Boppy

That darn reflux and heartburn are the evil of all evils.  Kalista can contribute her baby acne and fits of fury to the severe reflux she gets after eating.  With "O" babies, this is a very common condition because of how weirdly placed their organs are in their abdomen and the loose sphincter muscle at the top of their stomach.  Last night she woke up crying in what looked like some intense pain and her face started sweating. We placed Kalista upright in her Boppy thinking that it might be reflux related and that would allow the stomach acid to move downwards due to gravity.   We think it worked because she settled down and looked more comfortable within minutes.  She eventually fell asleep in her Boppy at 1:00 am.  (*yawn*)
