Rough Night with Amelia

Amelia is such a good baby and hardly ever cries, but last night she would NOT sleep after her Midnight feeding for 2 hrs and same after the 4:30 am feeding. She would fall asleep, but wake after about 10 minutes, crying which is not normal after a full feeding. This has happened a few times, but was WAY worse last night.
We *think* she may have reflux. She has grunted and sounded throaty since day one. She sounds like there is something in her throat that she can't clear. With that, not wanting to lie flat and crying after eating, it makes sense that this could be an issue. We mentioned this to the Dr last week at her 2 week visit and he said reflux could be a problem.
She takes in more milk while breastfeeding at night since she goes longer stretches and I have more milk, so I am going to try tonight to feed her a little less and see if that helps. We are also going to the Dr tomorrow to visit about reflux issues.
I pray for a better night tonight!!

I do pray that Amelia's reflux is getting better and that you are getting more sleep!

I also love the pics in the previous post...such beautiful girls! Amelia looks so delicate and sweet. I can already barely remember Anniston that little...crazy!
