The screaming has been so much worse again this last week. To the point where even Dave agreed something had to be wrong. And for Dave this is big! Dave has the "she will be fine tomorrow" attitude that I really love him for. Usually helps keep my mom anxiety in check. But something really has been wrong off and on for a few months now. So after many visits to the pediatrician, a whole bottle of Motrin, a whole lot of mylanta, and really no answers, we went back to the chiropractor.
We had taken Leah to the chiropractor a bit when she was a newborn, to get all the womb and birth kinks worked out but had not been back much since. That was my mistake. After one adjustment yesterday, we have been scream fest free! She has gone down for her naps without a peep and slept 9 hours last night! Its like the good old days! I know I might be getting a little ahead of myself, its only been 27 hours, but its been 27 hours of joy. Just 20 min ago I was making raspberries on her stomach listening to her giggle. She started rubbing her eyes, I put her down in her crib and presto, she is asleep. This is compared to the arched back, stiff as a board, scream fests of late.
Other things that may be contributing. We took her off the meds. That's right, cold turkey no more prevacid. So its quite possible things could get worse again before they get better for good.
I also keep a food log now, both my food and hers. I really hope its not the popcorn making her scream! And I am starting over with solids for her. I was very careful about introducing them one at a time to see if she had a reaction, but just in case. Wish us luck and I will keep you updated!
