No More Bottle

Today we had a reflux recheck appointment with Addison's pediatrician. She's gone through one full bottle of Zantac, with minimal change in her coughing. She's still coughing while she sleeps. It wakes her up, and makes for a fussy girl. We finally put two and two together (the Dr. did!) and realized that we're still giving her a bottle before bed. She drinks 5 oz. before nap time, and 8 oz. before bedtime. The Dr. thinks that this fully tummy while lying down is the culprit. He also wants to up her dosage of Zantac. So tonight, I gave her a sippy cup of milk with dinner. She drank the majority, but wasn't pleased later when there wasn't a bottle at bedtime! She kept looking around for it, taking her binky out and whining. Hopefully this will do the trick and she won't wake up hacking.
