DD2 is 4 months old. She has had a reflux issue since birth and has an infant gaviscon prescription. She's also CMPI and on Nutramigen. However, her sickness is getting ridiculous now. She's been off her milk too.
Every feed during the day results in her vomiting so much that she needs to be changed. A muslin is totally ineffectual. I often have to change too.
She sleeps really well (on her front) but really struggles to get to sleep. She's really not a terribly happy baby at the moment and just wants to be held all the time. That's simply not possible with a toddler too, so she cries quite a lot and I feel awful.
Her weight has dropped from between 75th and 91st centile to the 75th centile line. Nothing dramatic and the HV isn't worried.
I'm very nervous about taking her to the doctor as they've been so patronising and unhelpful. I got a lecture and had to put up a fight for the gaviscon.
Is this normal for some babies or should I be stamping my feet with the health professionals? I'm at the end of my tether, so not really sure I can put up the fight. I'd probably just cry!
