The twins (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) came home Wednesday evening at about 7pm....we finally got to bed at 2:30 in the morning (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Feeding every 3 hours is getting "fun", hahahaha

While at the hospital, Taylor started to have symtoms of acid reflux and was spitting her milk/formula out of her mouth and nose. Not a big deal while hooked up to monitors. Before going home the doctors gave us a prespription for Zantac to help control it. Worked fine at the hospital but now at home shes done it a few times while asleep and we caught it by listening to the monitors in their room....

Luckly for us the girls have woken up during the few events, but it is very nerve racking and we are damn near afraid to go aspleep

I did some research and found some good info and things that help ease it until they grow out of it, but was wondering what other have found to work for sure.

Yes, i will be consulting the dr.s in the morning....

thanks for the advice and well wishes (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Robby, I forgot, we have the Reglan as well as the Zantec....after doing some more reading on the subject InfantReflux.org we started to feed them less food more often (oh joy)....it was also recommended to hold them for at least 30 minutes after feeding them and how can you not want to follow that advice (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif)

This morning for thier 5am feeding I figured I'd hold them for the recommended 30 minutes and then be out of the house by 6am...well, all 3 of us woke up at 8:45 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) ..no spitting up...I think I found the cure, not too sure how healthy it is for them to be held like that all time (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

Yea, a users manual would be nice, I tried to find "Babies for Dummies", but no luck, hahahaha


Luckly for us my mother-in-law just lives around the corner so we'll be inviting her over more often in the evening to watch the kids so Sherryl and I can get a few solid hours of sleep (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)
