DUH!!!
Why didn't I think of this?? When Olivia was around 2 months old, we discovered she had reflux. They gave us medicine which didn't help so Dr. Kottke said not to use it. So finally as she got older and after thickening her formula, she seems to be improving. She quit throwing up as much and started growing. About the time we started her on food, in particular the 2nd stage of food she has been waking up 3-5 times PER NIGHT! I took her in 1 month ago and was told it was teething...none of those teeth cut through still. While talking about this at work one of my coworkers said what about her reflux? DDDUUUHHHH!!!!!!!! She is up at night cuz her tummy hurts!!!!! Poor kid. I felt so bad after realizing that was probably the issue. We went to the doctors tonight and she gave us a prescription to try. I hope it helps! Olivia has also been refusing fruit and she thinks that it is probably because it upsets her stomach. I cant believe I didnt put this all together myself!!! I feel so bad it has gone on soo long.

Don't feel bad about it girl! You take darn good care of that baby and you were told it was one thing so you believed it. No biggie! I hope she feels better soon and gets back to eating and growning. Good luck girl! :)

Glad to hear you may have figured that out! That means better nights sleep for both of you! And a better tummy for Olivia too.
