Hi
I am looking for some advice really from anybody whose child has been diagnosed with CMPA. I'd like to know if my baby's symptoms are at all similar to yours...
At around 6 weeks my baby started to scream while feeding and refused to eat. We were told it was reflux and were prescribed gaviscon and it did nothing. We were then prescribed ranitidine about a month ago which seemed to help for a few days. I've been back every week since as Baby refuses to feed and they merely increase the dose every time. Although the screaming is less often, it still occurs if you offer her milk sometimes, and she still refuses feeds first time occasionally even though she is hungry.
We have good days and bad days. Currently She has been screaming for the last hour, will not drink milk and is only accepting water. She is a very cranky baby who never seems able to settle. She goes to sleep crying and wakes up crying. It's heartbreaking.
What should I do? I can't get an appointment with the GP until Monday. I don't want to go to the hospital as I have been there 3 times already in the last month. I'm aware you can buy Aptamil lactose free - will this work for a cows milk allergy??
Please somebody out there help me! I'm at my wits end.
