Hi all,
Desperate Mam here! My 6 week old was diagnosed with a CMPA after a significant rash, eczema style break out, projectile vomiting and mucus in stools. We tried Pepti 1 first which outright rejected. Then moved on to Nutramigen which was tolerated better but he would often arch his back and scream in pain. The doctor prescribed carobel to try to help with this, which made feeds more comfortable for a short amount of time but we seem to be back to square one now.
He also has horrendous congestion which means he barely sleeps as he chokes and snorts and sounds like he can’t breathe. It also means he isn’t taking full feeds, we’re lucky if we can get 3oz down at a time. I’m going to go back to the GP but wondered if anyone had any advice or ideas? Does it sound like he might need an amino acid formula? Should I ask about omeprozole and go down the silent reflux road? I know you’re not medical experts but I would appreciate any information from experience. I’m really struggling at the moment.
Thanks so much
