So, JPA was diagnosed with GERD (acid reflux) at the ripe old age of 3 weeks. He was on Prevacid for it since (and it's so helpful to him in being comfortable after eating and in also reducing the amount of him spitting up). Well, the lovely makers of his type of Prevacid, decided to not manufacture it anymore. This lead to a call from his doctor to the Portland Gastro-docs to see what they were doing for all their infants that were one it. The plan of action now is to get capsules, open them up, split the Prevacid balls in half and mix it in with either rice cereal or applesauce.
Tonight was our first night trying it. We tried with rice and I was all prepared for a large mess and him not keeping any down as he wouldn't be able to eat it. Well, I was wrong. He loved the cereal! He actually was turning his head towards the spoon and he ate it all, even though it was laced with Prevacid balls. Let's continue to hope he eats it this easily every night!!!
