Acid Reflux

Ever since her birth Emma has had issues with choking while she was eating. We first thought that she was not able to handle the milk flow due to her small size. However, now that she is over 10 pounds she is still having issues with choking. We talked to our Aunt Sarah, who is a pediatrician in South Carolina, and she said it was most likely acid reflux. She recommended that we take her and have a upper gi test to make sure everything is o.k. She went to Lanier Park on Tuesday morning and the test revealed that everything looked normal. Aunt Sarah called us in a prescription for acid reflux and she also recommended mixing some baby rice cereal in with her milk. Since then everything has been much better. She is not getting choked near as much anymore. We have also realized that if we give her the rice cereal before bedtime she sleeps a lot longer. She went seven hours between feedings last night!
