So, Mini-Me is on medication for reflux, as the pediatrician agreed that her symptoms matched up with reflux and we saw a decrease in her weight gain in the two weeks before the appointment. Since we've started on Zantac, there's been less fussing, and it seems like there's been more frequent spit-ups but they're not as voluminous and not as curdsy.
Mini-Me stopped sleeping in nice 4-6 hour stretches at night and started waking up every 1-2 hours. I attributed this to the fact that she doesn't exhaust herself fussing in the afternoon, but my friend the family doc informed me that Mini-Me is due for a growth spurt right around now (she'll be seven weeks in a few days) and she is feeding constantly to increase my milk supply to meet her new demand. Cool biology, but I am already starting to unravel after two nights of sleep in one-hour chunks. Hopefully she'll settle down in the next few days.
