Miniature Lazy Boys and Other Things I Never Knew Existed

At four weeks, Cal was diagnosed with acid reflux. More specifically, it turns out our little guy suffers from GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) which is apparently not that uncommon in infants – who knew?  Among the rich tapestry of idiosyncrasies that acid reflux brings to a poor undeserving newborn is the need to be held upright for long periods of time after eating and calming through continuous movement (hence ample glider time.)

So what are overtired and deeply concerned first time parents to do when the little love of their life projectile vomits after being laid down in his cozy and beautifully hand crafted bassinette? Turns out the “nap nanny chill”  (miniature lazy boy) is positioned at the perfect incline for our little one’s reclining comfort. So now, even though the miniature lazy boy goes with NOTHING in the nursery – we can rest assure that Cal is positioned safely at an incline for when those pesky digestive symptoms strike.

Here are some more upright places Cal likes to hang and other effective acid reflux symptom reducing gizmos we've accumulated over the past few weeks.
