Hello all
Further to my earlier posts asking for help with my little ones feeding, we now think she has reflux (having done the usual Internet searches) or lactose intolerance. Referred to paediatrician for jaundice at 5 weeks. Paediatrician said he wasnt concerned about jaundice but on discussion about feeding thinks she may have lactose intolerance though was reluctant to diagnose. She is breasted & after each feed regurgitates a lot of the milk & later vomits it up over a 2-3 hr period. There is a lot of sick (could fill my palm) & we get through 4 bibs & 2 changes of clothes each feed. This is accompanied by screaming, crying, back arching, rigid torso, etc. very distressing following feed. Quite a lot of wind too. Apparent pain comes on quickly without warning. Recently (6-7 weeks) poo become liquidy with explosive nappies. Has never liked lying on back, settles better on side. Difficult to get to sleep unless in pram or car seat and moving or if she's being held. Reflux advice I found was to keep her upright for 2-3 hrs post feed...impossible at night!! So I decided to cut out dairy from my diet 3 days ago To see what happened & all symptoms have gone! Seems too good to be true. Wondered if others have experienced similar & what you did. I think I probably ought to discuss with Gp too??
