Of course, I say all of that even though the baby had a few hours of being wide awake last night rather than sleeping from 3am until 5:30am like she should have been! (But at least she wasn't fussy.)

The Zantac sucks. It's a very bitter flavor. The doc says there's no real way to mask it. I've tried just dropping it in ... I've tried giving her some breast milk first and then the medicine ... I've tried mixing it with sugar water ... and each time getting her on the breast ASAP afterwards (for taste and comfort). Ugh, none of it really makes it any easier. The look on her face when that stuff is in her mouth makes me want to both laugh (have you ever seen a five week old baby make a "yucky face"?!) and cry (my poor unhappy baby ...).
