Colic vs Reflux

Besides all the moving stuff and adjusting life to with 3 kids, the other reason I am so behind on blogging is this…
Our sweet baby Piper is a fussy baby!  At her 1 month appointment-we debated with our pediatrician about whether the fussiness was colic or reflux.  We talked about her symptoms...she spits up, seems discontent after eating, would wake herself up from naps soon after falling asleep and is fussy throughout day-not just at night.  However, nighttime is definitely her most fussy time.  In the end, we decided to start her on Zantac to treat reflux.  The doctor said it would take 5 days to really take affect and see a difference.  Well, it has been over a week now.  There has been no miracle fix.  She is still fussy-seems a bit more content after eating, isn't spitting up quite as much and is taking longer naps.  Who knows?  We are still trying to figure it all out…if you have the magic answer, let me know!!!
