DS2 is nearly 5mths old and when a few weeks old was 'diagnosed' with reflux. I use the term diagnosed loosely as nothing was ever tested but this is what the doctors have suggested. The reflux was never severe but he was a lot more sick than most babies and he never seemed to be comfortable. He was put on gaviscon which seemed to work for a few weeks but then the symptoms started appearing again it was around this point I was beginning to stop bf and the doctor suggested we try ranitidine. He has been on this for about a month now and although initially he seemed better he has started getting sick again. I have on several occasions questioned the doctors about whether it could be a milk intollerance...several of my close family members (including my sister) have suffered with milk intollerances from birth and where put onto soya formula. Every doctor I have mentioned it to seems to think its unlikely though. DS2 has in the last couple of weeks developed eczema (one of the symptoms I know my sister has if she has cows milk!). I took DS2 to the doctors about the eczema and they have given us hydromol to put on twice a day and use at bath time. It seems to make it slightly better but poor little thing is still covered and screams the house down each time we put it on, I'm guessing it stings! :( I did consider swapping his milk to soya but having done some research on the web I have been reading a lot about the hormones in it and i am not so sure I want him having it! I am literally at my wits end with it all...I have been back and forth to the doctors that many times in pretty sure they think I'm completely mental...just don't know what to do now for the best. Any advice or thoughts on whether this could be an intollerance would be really appreciated. (please excuse any bad spelling/punctuation I'm typing on my phone and it's such a tiny keyboard)
