So we went to the pediatrician yesterday to hopefully find out why Kaleb vomits so much. Well the Dr sad it probably is a combination of acid reflux and a protein intolerance so he has him taking Losec which is for the acid reflux and Alimentum formula which is hypoallergenic for the intolerance. So far he has spit up / vomited way less and he has only had like 4 feeding. I feel kinda like I might be starving him because he isn't eating all the time like he was before. He also is not vomiting like he was before either so the more that stays in the less we have to feed. Yeah!!!!!
The Dr also wanted to rule out some sort of bladder/kidney infections that can also cause vomiting and so we had to collect Kalebs pee for that. Now how the heck do you collect a baby's pee you ask. I little bag that is specially made to fit over his "little bits" as the lab tech described to Joe, of course. From where we put into a collection bottle ourselves and also on some sort of dip stick thing with a little plastic syringe thing. That is my medical explanation and hopefully he peed enough because for once he didn't pee very much at one time. I really don't care to do it again.
Anyways thought I would let you all know that so far Kaleb is doing better and let's keep it that way.

I didn't know Kaleb was having any issues! Glad to hear he is puking less. Maybe that is why he is eating less...more of it is staying in his belly. But you probably already figured that out and are thinking "Thanks for playing Michelle. DUH!"
Hope he continues to do better for you!
