I have a 5 week old baby, born at 34 weeks.
Everything started fine, home after a week in Scbu.
A few days after he came home the feeding issues started.
Struggling to take a feed in less than a couple of hours, holding his breath while feeding and going blue, shocking wind (then trapped wind after), vomiting.
He makes the most awful noises constantly. His poos are soft but strains all the time with high pitched moaning or roaring!
I changed his milk because my dd had a milk allergy- no difference. He's back on aptamil now on advice of gp who thinks it's reflux.
He's had gaviscon- no difference.
He's on ranitidine now- first 2 days fine, now back to square one.
I literally cannot put him down!!
I've tried the usual propping up the Moses basket, massage, holding him upright.
Nothing helps. When he does sleep it's little naps.
Spoken to gp and HV, not at all concerned because he's putting on weight and having wet and dirty nappies.
I literally cannot cope anymore 😢
