I need advice I'm loosing my mind!
But if back story. My son is 5 weeks old on Monday he's had a crap start to life born at 36 weeks then in the nicu for a week. Since being home he was on SMA little angels , he was super unsettled screaming day in day out. I thought colic, the doctors though CMPA since I have had 2 other children with it , he then trialed nutramigen but completely refused to drink it after throwing up the full bottle. Then he went back to sma little angels till they prescribed him something else, then they gave him neocate for a week trial but ended up worse screaming and around 15-18 poos a day his bum was blistered crazy, then we was told to trial him on a comfort milk to rule out colic which we are now on hip organic comfort milk for just under 2 weeks. The belly ache seems to have calmed down now he's taking gripe water , he tried carobel that gave him horrible constipation and belly ache made him cry all day. Now I've ruled out colic the doctors are 100% sure he has reflux and so am I. His symptoms are
-cry's after a bottle
-very unsettled
-squirms and arches his back
-constantly being sick and swollowing it
-being sick after bottles
-legs up to his chest and flaring his arms everywhere
-going red in his face
-hiccups and chokes on milk a lot
-sneezing
-very congested and sounds mucusy.
-flakey skin
-spots and blotches on skin after bottles.
Things he's had
-nutramigen (didn't drink it)
-neocate (had a lot of diarrhea didn't trial long enough)
-Carobel ( bad constipation and bellyache)
-gaviscon ( bad constipation very unsettled)
-lanzaprozol ( didn't see a difference)
-omeprazole ( still on this but chokes really bad taking it)
I'm so fed up as in his 5 weeks of his life they've changed milk so much im petrified to change again. I do feel like they didn't leave him long enough on the neocate and I have been given a choice , re try the neocate and omeprazole for 4 weeks or try the aptimal anti reflux they have prescribed. I'm not sure what to put him on as I don't want to change him to CMPA milk for it not to agree with him and have to change to reflux milk after 4 weeks ? Please any advice is appreciated!
