Dr.'s was a bust!

Took Jude to the pediatrician today to see if she could offer some relief from the colic. She basically told me that it I give him proabotics, his colic will be cured. Never mind the fact that we tried that with Julia without any luck and I have already gave Jude some proabotics without any improvements.

According to her Jude (and Julia) just has a sensitive digestive system and it is causing him pain. It is something he will eventually outgrow, like Julia did, but the proabotics will give him relief in the meantime. She had me pick up a more powerful proabotic, but I still don't think it will help.

Luckily, I am finding that if I swaddle Jude up really tight, it REALLY helps with the colic. The only issue I have with this is that once he is swaddled and calmed down, he wants to sleep. I am afraid he will sleep too much during the day and not then not at night.

Oh, apparently the colic has no effect on his growth!! I had them weigh him today at the dr. right before we left. It was hard to get an exact weight because he was moving too much from the screaming, but it looks like he is right at 11 pounds!! So he gained 2 pounds this month!! I think he is going to be a big boy!!
