Poor girl - she has reflux!

Well, some of you know that we've had a very difficult week with Camila. She basically cries from 9am-9pm every day, unless she's being held or is in her Snugli. We finally decided to call her Pediatrician, and he recommended that we come in for a visit. We saw him this morning, and he thinks the poor girl has acid reflux! That's why she cries whenever we lay her down (and won't sleep during the day), and wants to be held all the time. Hopefully the medicine he gave her will help; Fabricio and I were getting pretty frustrated and worried that we were looking at a future of having to hold her 24/7! We've also eliminated any possibility of being able to use a norma diaper rash cream with her. Camila has super sensitive skin, and we can only use lanolin. Otherwise she breaks out into a nasty rash. It doesn't look like she'll be able to love Bath and Body Works like her mother! On another note, I definitely need to give up the newborn clothes... She's 10 lbs 6 oz!! We were completely shocked (she's gained 2 1/2 lbs in 4 weeks), but her doctor said it was fantastic. She'll be outgrowing her 3 month clothes soon (8-12 lbs!) But it's nice to know that even though she has reflux, sensitive skin, etc, at least we're doing well as parents in helping her gain weight. ;)
