Feel like I’m losing my mind and anxiety is increasing!!
My LO (little one) was 3 weeks on Monday and formula fed.
At 2 weeks old the GP prescribed gaviscon for reflux. This has helped to a degree but her feeding pattern has me all over the place!
She has been taking 1.5-3oz every 2-3 hours but the prescription for gaviscon is 1 sachet in 4oz, up to 6 sachets in 24hrs.
I’m worried she’s not getting enough of a dose as she’s not taking anywhere near 4oz at one feed.
Plus, she’s recently been taking 2-3 oz then rooting for more after 1-2hrs - she refuses the bottle once it’s gone down to room temp!
I feel like all I’m doing is wasting and making more bottles than ever. On top of the puking and fussiness and the lack of sleep it has me demented!!
I’ve done nothing but cry, I’m not eating properly and I feel like a complete & utter failure 😭
