verdict is in...

Reflux...

The doctor said he could not have written a more text book description of reflux...

He explained why it happens and that it's pretty common in newborns. He didn't want to put him on meds just yet (but I know he's too severe...that'll be our next step). He changed the formula we are supplementing with and also said he has to remain upright 30 minutes after eating. 

He also said to keep letting him sleep in his swing...so now I won't feel guilty about it! 

We're gonna give it 5 days with this new formula and keeping him upright, but if there is no improvement by then, all we have to do is call and the Doc will call in his meds.
