This is the most FRUSTRATING thing EVER!!! I swear, I hate this back and forth game. Averi recently started doing really well w/her new meds and was eating really great to be honest, her sleep was still horrible, but she was EATING. Now, after posting a “Hip Hip. Horray” she’s NOT eating. What the ? And get this, these past 2 1/2days while she hasn’t been eating, she has been sleeping through the night. Can someone explain this to me?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? I know she has been teething and has a slight cold right now…BUT…How much longer can I write off the not sleeping/now not eating on teething and a cold? She has been teething for going on 3 weeks now! Do most babies switch like this? One thing gets better the other stays the same and then it flip flops??? I thought her meds were working, could they not be working now? I just don’t know anymore. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This morning, after having slept 9 1/2hrs(yay, I know), only ate 3oz. I want to be so excited about the sleeping, but her not eating is the thing that bothers me the most. This is the way it started out w/her prilosec. She was eating really well for a few days and then it just stopped. How much longer should I give it before I know if the med isn’t working now? She has been on the SoluTabs for 14 days as of today. Is it even possible that the SoluTabs would have a honeymoon period? I’m at such a loss. I’m at the point where I’m just beyond frustrated. It’s so sad, but I don’t want to ever have another baby for fear that they’ll be either as bad off as Averi or WORSE. My DS was undiagnosed, so I’m pretty positive if I had a 3rd they’d also have reflux/MSPI. I better go, she’s in one of her fussy moods. Thanks for listening!

I’m sorry Amber. I know how frustrated you feel. We’ve done this back and forth thing since my Averi was born. Just when I think things are starting to improve they get worse again. I hope you get some relief soon. (((HUGS))).

Thanks! She’s still not eating too much better, but I think it IS the teething. She has been sleeping fairly well at night, and for naps. So, atleast something is working. She’s a much earlier teether than my DS was and it’s hard to know when it’s her teeth or something else. She has been teething on and off for 3 weeks now. BUT I can see them peeking through, so that HAS to be it. I’m just so happy that it’s more than likely the teeth and NOT the meds. I would have been coocoo if it was the meds not working again. Thanks Again!

I have to agree GERD horribly. The ups and downs are the worse. I think what is even worse is the up and then the dreadful feeling of knowing your heading down!!!!! You just soo desparetly want to stay ON the up.

HUGS!!!!! Reflux is called a rollercoaster for a reason. Before you know it you will be on the ride up!!!!!
