My baby is on Zantac

For about 3 weeks now almost every time Jacob eats he cries and even screams. At first we thought, he was just upset that he has to wait for his bottle to be prepared, has gas, wants his diaper changed or sometimes is both hungry and tired. Other than being hungry, tired, or the above mentioned, Jacob doesn't cry. I would even describe him as a happy baby. He smiles and coos all the time.

I did some research and suspected that maybe he possibly could have gastric esophageal reflux. But he's not excessively spitting up or vomiting, which are the more common symptoms of reflux. At Jacob's 2 month check up I mentioned it to the doctor and she said to keep an eye on it. He continued to cry during his feedings, so finally we called Kaleigh's pediatrician and she accommodated us in her busy schedule. It turns out that Jacob does have a mild case of gastric reflux. When there's acid in his throat and it mixes with milk, it burns and that's why he cries. And so, my baby is on Zantac, which according to his pediatrician is safe for babies.
