Reflux Redux

Poor Spike.  The guy is following in the steps of his big brother with a bad case of acid reflux.  I am not exactly sure when Max's reflux began, but I vaguely remember it starting soon after he was born.  Coming this far with few problem from Spike we thought we were in the clear, but it has become obvious that he has it too.  He has spent the past few weeks with a constantly wet collar.  He does seem to be better tempered about it then Max, so I imagine that his is not as bad a case as Max's.  I must change his outfit at least six times a day, I should probably just give up and have him wear a bib 24/7 like Max did.  I just hate bibs, they are like my glasses, you get all dressed up and satisfied with the way you look then you have to add the bib/glasses and ruin everything. Luckily with Max it lessened with age.  It got better at 4 months when he started solids, 6 months when he was sitting up, and was all but gone by 12 months.  We are down by three months already with Spike.  I guess I can do a month of bibs.
