Naked Grinning Baby

We have been having some struggles to say the least getting RB to sleep at night ever since he has been about a month old. He was on a VERY strict feeding schedule for the first month of his life needing to get woken up every two hours to eat throughout the day and night. The poor little guy just wanted some sleep but we had to wake him up for him to eat since he wasn't gaining the weight he should and started a little smaller. Well at his one month check up the doctor gave us the go ahead and told us he can sleep as long as he would like at night and feed on demand. We were thrilled to say the least! We might finally get to sleep longer then an hour at a time! Well that was short lived because ever since that day RB will only sleep a few hours at a time and wake up at night just screaming. Well we found out about a week ago that the poor little guy has reflux really bad. He was put on some meds for it. They are starting to help a little and he will sleep sometimes 3, 4, and even every once is a great while 5 hours at a time :) Well due to the acid reflux he spits up a lot if laid down too soon after eating....so he ends up being a little naked baby in the mornings. H loves to flash that smile on the changing table. I just thought he looked too sweet the other morning to not take a picture or two of him! We are crossing our fingers that we are going to start having more good nights over bad ones and that this medicine will really help him feel better.
