One month check up

We went to the DR last Monday for Miss Parker's one month appointment. I had been having a lot of trouble with Parker spitting up a lot the prior week, so I was very anxious to get in and talk with the DR. The week before her appointment she started to spit up a lot. I know that babies spit up, but she was spitting up after every meal and it was between 4 and 5 tablespoons. It just seemed more than what I thought was normal for spit up. We had finally introduced bottles to Parker, so that daddy can feed her and I can go run errands. She took to it wonderfully and that definitely took a burden off when we would be out and about with her. (Still keeping in mind that it is flue season and she is still so small, our outings have been limited to uncrowded places.)Last Friday, I needed to run to wall mart and that is not a place we are taking her yet because it is always so crowded. Matt stayed home with Parker and fed her a bottle while I was out, she threw up the entire bottle instantly. So then my concerns got even greater. We went to lunch with friends the next day, and I had to give her a bottle at lunch... same thing, instantly the entire thing came right back up. I was in tears (again) and still had to wait the weekend to talk to the DR.
Finally, Monday morning comes and I tell him all about the spitting up and his main concerns when it comes to babies spitting up as much as she was are if they are gaining weight and if they are in pain. She weighed in at 9lb 6oz (up 2 lbs since birth!!) and she is not a fussy baby. So, he was not concerned at all. He suggested that I try and eliminate dairy from my diet for a few days and see if that makes a difference.
It has been a week with no dairy and sure enough, the spit up is much better. She still has her moments of spitting up 3 and 4 tablespoons at a time, but now it's not after every feeding and not 3 and 4 times in between them. So good news for her, bad news for me! He also noticed some eczema between her eyes and said that could be a pre-courser for allergies. Who didn't see that one coming?! Matt is the king of all allergies!! Her eczema is getting worse, so I called the DR and now she is getting a good dose of Cetaphil daily and he will check it at her 2 month check up.
The DR said that she is growing wonderfully and is very alert and right on target for her development. He said that we are doing the right things as far a scheduling and feeding and he easied some (not all) of my worries of parenting. He said I'll always be worried, that's part of parenting. haha We have been so blessed to have such a wonderful baby and we are still in awe of her. I love her so much and love every minute of our time together!
