Hi,
I have a 5 month old son who was born 8 weeks early, at around 2 1/2 months he was diagnosed with reflux which he takes ranitidine and gaviscon for and it settled for a while. Around 2 months ago feeding once again became hell with h screaming up to an hour after every feed, consultant suggested a change in milk from nutriprem 2 to nutramigen lipl 1 for a suspected cows milk protein allergy, this was supposed to be trialled for 4 weeks ( I put all these symptoms down to the reflux again and thought he maybe needed different medications added in). First week was fine after that I literally could not even get the bottle in his mouth he screamed every feed to the point of me in tears with him, and he wasn't gaining weight. Scbu nurses visited and I was at my wits end I filmed him feeding and showed it to her and she too agreed we couldn't go on like this. She spoke to a dietician who suggested alfamino milk which is lactose free to trail for 4-6 weeks. This settled him for around 4 weeks and now we are back to the crying with feeds, not as bad as it used to be, but really unsettled, he's started bringing up small frequent amounts of milk again and I haven't a clue where to go from here, or even whether the problem has been the reflux all along and not even an intolerance. I am at my wits end with it all 😕 Any suggestions???
