Hello all, I'm new to mumsnet so please bear with me!
I am at my wits end and need some advice. My 7 week old son appears to have bad acid reflux, he won't settle between feeds and is in agony whilst feeding (more so after he has brought his wind up) and is very sick.
He started on gaviscon at 4 weeks old, at which point the main problem was he was struggling to feed and wouldn't settle. He also had very green watery poo so I tried changing his milk from aptamil to sma, his stools are a little firmer but still green.
I took him back to the docs last week and she gave him ranitidine (liquid zantac). I was worried about him taking it so as a last attempt I tried colief for a few days but he was just getting worse.
I have now been giving him ranitidine for 48 hours and he still seems to be getting worse. He seems to be in so much pain, I can't bear it. Should I stop the ranitidine, change his milk? Help!!!!
