Hi all, just want to see if anyone has been through this as at my wits end and don’t know if I should be worrying as much as I am or not!

My 6month old DD2 had really bad silent reflux at a peak between 2-4 months (would scream allll day and refuse and fight every bottle), she started on gaviscon and eventually omeprazole and I changed her milk to goats milk formula which seems to be gentler on her stomach.

Starting weaning at 5 months, ate like a pig! Literally loved food but still was talking her milk. She sort of dropping the mid afternoon bottle quite quickly wanting a snack instead which was fine. Fast forward 6 weeks and she’s now acting how she did but with food and is refusing nearly all her milk!! She literally drinks 4oz MAX when she wakes up, occasionally will entertain about 2oz mid morning and that normally is it!!! She won’t even take a bedtime bottle, again max 2/3oz!

I’ve tried giving her less at dinner to try and get her to have the bottle - no good. Tried giving her filling foods pasta, carbs, cheese etc at dinner - no good. Now she’s taken to crying when she’s eating dinner (breakfast and lunch normally not too much of a struggle) and it really is a struggle to get her to eat anything properly and she’s refusing the milk :( I do a mixture of baby led and feeding her. She’s now starting to sleep badly and I think it’s cos she’s just hungry!

Any help/advice?! Xxx
