I mentioned that during Ruby's 6 month check up, our pediatrician requested that we do a trial off of her reflux medication, Prilosec. Most babies grow out of their reflux by this age, but for some it can take 12 months or longer.
Well, it only took three days before Ruby started vomiting. This is much different than the usual spit ups we've become accustomed too. We waited a day just to ensure it wasn't a fluke, but it just got worse. And we had a cranky baby on our hands. We started the medication back up and it took almost a week before Ruby was back to normal! I felt bad for even trying, but at least now we know we're not giving her medication unnecessarily.
I'm sure we'll try again after her next check up, but for now I'm just happy her reflux is back under control...
