Hi, my 6 week old was put on SMA Althera about 6 days ago due to suspected milk allergy. His symptoms then were excessive bottom wind, constant crying and arching back, rash on face, and constipation exceeding once every 24-48hrs.
Yesterday i arranged a consultation, but my husband thiught he was fine as experienced no fuss when he was feeding him during the late evening/early morning feeds. During early days of new formula. But I've been the one whose been caring for him and seen a big difference.
He since has worsened. Constant cry’s, absolutely refuses to lie down after a feed and held to receive air buildup in stomachs. Last night he started coughing, screaming after bottles, vomits much of what he's fed. Poops are explosive and almost instant once fed. Poo is thicker and green with mucus. he sounds like a snorting congested pig and
sneezes constantly, especially after feeding.
The web is a wonderful tool, but cant rely on information provided. By looking up the above reports showing that this seems to me like silent reflux as he doesn’t projectile vomit as before the new formula, but still vomits.
Does this sound like CMPA or reflux?
How can we help him until we get an appointment?
