Reflux

Andrew weighs almost 4 pounds and 15 ounces. He’s gaining weight everyday which will increase his feedings. They will increase the amount of milk he is getting based on his weight gain. I forgot to mention yesterday that he lost his umbilical cord with the nurse’s help. It was hanging by a thread and when she was cleaning it with the alcohol, it came off. He had a little bit of reflux when eating today, but no dips on the monitor. So I think we are past the scary times of dips on the monitor, but he is still refluxing. It’s hard to see him reflux because it seems to irritate his little body. Sometimes he acts as if he is going to spit up and his little hands clench. Hopefully this will pass and it helps to hold him up after each feeding.
