My baby was born prematurely at 31+4, he is 10 weeks old now, and has been on expressed breast milk the whole time. We have been home for 5 weeks now.
When he was in nicu he never/very rarely vomited, however since I’ve been home, he’s developed a rash which is worsening, I showed the GP she said excema but after googling it’s now looking more red and blotchy like a milk allergy rash (it’s only on his stomach/ body area)
The last week he has also starting vomiting when I wind him half way through and after a feed, not loads but more than before.
And his stools are loose/stringy mucuousy. This is only the last 2 weeks.
He also sounds very congested, and does cough occasionally.
Admittedly when he was in nicu I wasn’t eating much dairy so that could account for the change since he’s been home.
Now what confuses me is he’s a happy baby, no screaming for hours on end, very occasional back arching initially which stopped when I changed to dr browns bottles. And he sleeps for 5-6 hours through the night, I thought if they had an allergy they were constantly screaming/ un settled.
Can anyone help?
I’ve attached a picture of the rash.
