Hi Everyone, I just wanted to know if anyone has actually been through this before. Get ready as this is going to be a long one…
Since my daughter was born (now nearly seven months old)
She started off as a new born continually grunting, arching back and crying after feeds. Basically, she would always be uncomfortable and unsettled.
I contacted the doctors when she was a couple of weeks old as I am a first time mum and didn’t have a clue as to what to do.
They prescribed gaviscon sachets for her, I have never tried more than four as this makes her constipated. They then prescribed omeprazole which they’ve gradually increased - still unsettled to the point where she started to refuse her milk. She now never ever drinks milk in my lap I have to distract her with something in order for her to drink and even then I struggle to feed her.
I explained all of this to the paediatrician and they said it could a cows milk allergy.
They prescribed new milk for her and her symptoms were still there.
I just don’t know what to do anymore oh and I forgot to mention that her milk has been changed four times.
I’ve tried Kendamil, aptamil, cow & gate and SMA.
Has anyone been through something similar did something else help? She wakes up every hour at night and cries she’s going to be seven months soon I just don’t know what else to try I’m running out of options.
Thank you
