First time mum here. My 9 week baby was 6 weeks premature. He had his 2 month jabs on Monday last week. The last three days he has started screaming in pain after drinking an ounce or two, not bringing up much wind and when he does it is a small amount and sometimes sicky, which it wasn't before. He will then cry when I try to reintroduce the bottle but he is still hungry trying to drink it but crying and pushing it away again then sucking his hand or arm.
He has thrush in his mouth that I took him to the Drs for over a week ago and he is on medication for this but it hasn't cleared up. He is blowing saliva bubbles and crying in his sleep.
I don't know whether to take him to the walk in centre or wait and try to get an emergency appt tomorrow morning. I'm worried that he is only taking an ounce or two at a time in this heat. Or phone the HV. On a Sunday?
I don't know whether it is silent reflux or something else. Should I try calpol?
He also has a hernia on his belly button which HV has said not to worry about and I've noticed this morning an extra lump in his testicle. Could these also be causing pain? I think it's his stomach that is the feeding problem rather than the thrush.
He has a drs appointment a week Tuesday as this was the soonest I could book an actual appointment for.
TIA for advice!
