health visitor weighed baby today, baby is 5 weeks old and I BF and formula feed, she had been on 90ml and lately I’ve been given 120ml as she was going through 90ml though I have always fed on demand but usually 2-3 hours. Lately baby has been pushing bottle out her mouth then screaming, I peserve because she looks then repeats etc. which is confusing.
she has plenty of wet nappies
and poos are always runny. Today after health visitor seen she said maybe it’s the teat so I have now bought teat 2 size as recommended. Mum had fed whilst out and she was sick after her being more settled lately last weeks. I
also fed her when she was up hours later and again sick everywhere. Baby when first born few weeks would be sick a lot and it settled. I give her kendamil as had previously been on cow and gate. I did mention to GP I feel baby has reflux weeks ago because she grunts lots and sick if on back too soon. I always sit up with her 30 mins and now I’m drained on lack of sleep and having baby that doesn’t like being put down at all. Now the pressure to feed feed when baby is going to throw it up!
the gp previously gave carobel? but with that would that then defeat teat size as it thickens things? Would it then cause her pain of constipation would I be better with a different formula or..I broke down in tears tonight. I’m autistic and mum says i’m doing great but to see that she hasn’t gained as expected I feel lost
should i be doing more than 120ml
baby was 5lb11 when born
She is now at 5 weeks 3.1kg which i think is 6 13lb
said she has gained but not where expected
