My 7 month old baby girl was diagnosed with cows milk protein allergy at 8 weeks. She had really bad constipation and silent reflux. Her reflux disappeared instantly when we switched her onto Nutramigen formula and her constipation softened a little.
About 8 weeks ago she started projectile vomiting with awful constipation. She was diagnosed with a chest infection and ear infection in both ears and was prescribed antibiotics. Then she apparently had a tummy bug which made her sick and put her off her bottles. Then she had a virus which gave her a temp with continued vomiting.
Anyway, she won't eat solids at all, she drinks her milk but brings at least one bottle back a day and she is very constipated, screams when she has a poo and it is coated in blood.
Doc just keep prescribing laxatives which go in milk - all very well if you can get a child to drink her milk or, if she does, keep it down.
Weight wise they're not particularly worried. She has put on 3oz in 5 weeks and is only just falling below the 50th centile.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I'm not too worried about her not wanting solids, it's more the constipation and vomiting that is concerning me. Today she's kept down about 5 oz milk all day ( I am a pro at catching the sick in a bowl then I measure it in a jug). She is quite happy in herself, sleepier than usual but happy when awake.
