So from get go baby has had reflux, I was given carobel to add to formula. I’ve not used with every feed but yet when I do use with feeds I wouldn’t say it’s made a difference. I’m also unsure if it causes constipation
I then mentioned to doctor about milk allergy as seen that can sometimes be caused of reflux, my parents said she seemed more content on nutramigen during her feeds but now it seems to be changing again that she’s fed then crying through feed and afterwards. Last night she was making constant grunty noises which then settled..she’s always made grunt noises but not so much..she’s been on nutra for few weeks now and she keeps feeds down more but also this week (week 7) she feeds and then looks for more feed but can then be sick!
her average feeds last week was 60ml this week shes 90ml which seems to keep down but wants more then that’s when sickness can happen! I feel contused because its so difficult knowing. I notice she puts her hand to her mouth and starts chewing on it even after feed..
i feel caught
is it reflux and will it get easier..right now even when she isn’t feeding she will only be in arms because laying flat is worst to her..even her sides she wakes up because of the legs/grunting
I’m unsure if constipated but tried baths/massage
I also had her on kendamil before where she pooped instantly during feeds but not anymore with nutra! - what do I do?
she is gaining weight though recently did have scare of slow weight gain.. ahhh
(bf and formula fed - Nutramigen (60/90ml average 7 weeks old - bf 10-20 mins then she looks for feed average 2 hours, 3 hours max.)
paeditrain said 60ml fine every 3 hours, HV said no every 2 hours and to feed over that as its not enough
