Brooks has had a cold for about 2 weeks now. He is snooty and has a bit of a cough that comes and goes. The doctor said that his acid reflux causes his cold to stick around longer, and his cold causes his acid reflux to flare up. She suggested trying some rice cereal for breakfast (I forget how it's supposed to help). So this morning Brooks had some delicious breastmilk that we eventually followed with some rice cereal. I don't even know how much he actually ate. It seemed like he just spit most of the cereal back out of his mouth. I wish I could've gotten a picture of his face as he was eating it - he was not necessarily enjoying it. I did let him use the spoon all by himself though, and he seemed to enjoy that. It just made a bigger mess of course, but I think that is all a part of the experience. We'll keep trying it for a week or so and see if he learns to like it.

i hate stupid reflux! it makes me crazy. hopefully he'll start taking the rice cereal better soon. it definitely helped preston. i think it's something about the thickness in their little tummy.
