DD is 19wks and suffers from reflux. She's on gaviscon and ranitidine and her symtoms have reduced - she's still sick but no where near as bad as she was and is no longer in the screaming / feeding cycle that caused me to stop breastfeeding.
The problem is she still isn't settled sleeping. She will nap for no more than 40 minutes during the day and to get her to do this she either needs to be rocked to sleep or taken out in the car / pram. At night she falls asleep on the bottle and then feeds every 3/4 hours which is fine it's just that she wakes 6 or so times between feeds and needs settling each time
Since being on formula she has also come out in eczema on her chest and back.
The dr has suggested dairy intolerance (although she was a bit vague!)and prescribed nutramigen which dd has now been on exclusively since saturday.
Are these symptoms, paricularly the sleeping patterns, consistent with dairy intolerance? If the nutramigen does help when are we likely to see any improvement?
Thanks - we're getting desperate!!
