What's Up, Doc?

I took Luke back to the doctor this morning...he went a week ago because he was sneezing and coughing and had drainage in his eyes. He is no longer sneezing or coughing, but he still wakes up with goopy eyes. The doctor is thinking that it might just be a blocked tear duct but if it doesn't clear up soon with ointment, he will need to go see an opthamologist.



The true reason that I took Luke back this morning though was because he has been spitting up and refusing to eat. (I quit breastfeeding last week so now he is exclusively on formula and ever since, he has been super fussy and spitting up A LOT!) I was certain that he had reflux, but the doctor said that Luke should have been spitting up with breastmilk this whole time if he had reflux. So....after giving me a guilt trip for not breastfeeding any longer, the doctor suggested that we try some different formulas. He thinks that Luke is having a hard time adjusting to strictly formula and we need to switch to one that is more gentle on his tummy. I'm hoping this works because I would really like to be able to stay in the same shirt all day...laundry has really been piling up.

He weighed 12 lbs. 1 oz and was 24" long. He should start putting on weight too now since he no longer has diarrhea from his cold and will hopefully start to eat with this new formula.

Here's a picture of him laying in the doctor's office after having his height measured...hence the pen marks above his head.
