Although Easton is now over 4 months, these pictures were taken when he was 3 months and we are just now showing them off. He is a smiley sweet little boy that unfortunately has acid reflux. We LOVE our pediatrician and she has been working hard with us to try a find out what we can do about his acid reflux which causes some eating problems for him. Recently, after talking with our doctor we are trying something new again. She said some babies just prefer eating over drinking. So we have him on 3 meals a day with breast milk mixed in with his cereal and making it a little more runny than I usually make it and that way he will be getting the nutrients from the milk he needs. Then just nurse him when ever he will which could even be twice a day. We started this yesterday, so it is fairly new and from all that we have tried we have learned not to get our hopes up to soon. Sometimes whatever we are doing seems like it is working, then a few days later is seems his irritable eating patterns start up again. But so far, this seems to be the key. Jordan has acctually been able to rock him to sleep ( he could before, but after a LONG time of crying, if I wasn't home) and he has longer periods of time that he will let Jordan hold him, so we are crossing our fingers!
