Ok so baby number 2 is 7weeks old since 3weeks old has had reflux got prescribed gaviscon at 5weeks with minimal improvement seen 2 gp n very much of the watch n wait approach.
Baby screams alot in day when feeding latching on n off n doesn't really nap other than on me for short spells, the not napping has become more an issue in past week used to nap ok.
He does now sleep from 8pm til midnight if can get him settled down for bed. Then he wakes hourly for small feeds n on bad nights sometime rewakes every 5mins because of milk refluxing n is writhing around crib.
Health visitor thinks feeding issue is due to his tongue tie picked up at 1 day old so has now asked gp to refer to clinic.
I think cmpi he had green mucusy poos before going on gaviscon n never had just a wet nappy n did 8-12 poos in 24hrs.
We have a strong family history of cmpi from me as a baby n my siblings to my sister 4children n my brother one child having multiple intolerance.
Gp just said carry on bf review when gaviscon runs out (about 2weeks from when I saw him fri)
Anyway after much screaming yesterday n being up every few minutes since 3am I am going to try being dairy free although won't be able to do forever.
Tips, suggestion foods you have found dairy free as aware it's the hidden milk in bread, sponge cake, processed meats etc.
