8 week checkup woes

Callie had her 8 week check up today. As improved as we think her reflux has been, the pediatrician does not think it is enough since she still cannot sleep lying on her back and spits up frequently when we lay we on her back. So she will continue with the same medicine but at a much higher dose, part of which is due by her increased weight!
Speaking of weight, she weighed in at a hefty 12 lbs 1 oz! That is only 75th percentile. I can't imagine the 99th percentile kid! Her length is now 22.5 inches, 55th percentile just like her average height parents.
The doctor is officially calling her nighttime screaming colic now and says just wait it out til around 4 months. Half way there doesn't seem to console me and her crying at night.
She was also diagnosed with thrush and eczema and so now she has more medicines to take.
Callie showed off her screaming skills when they gave her the vaccines and she has been extremely fussy since, crying most of the afternoon. Poor baby had a rough day. Hoping she feels better soon. :(
