First time posting here, sorry if I ramble but I’m looking for some answers.
Second baby boy, 10 weeks old breastfed for 7 weeks, formula fed for 3. First two weeks were great he latched and fed well, slept okay and plenty of wet nappies. Then it went downhill.
First symptom I noticed was he started to pretty much regurgitate his feed and he was never content or settled he looked like he was in pain, went to the doctor and was prescribed gaviscon. There was slight improvement but still lots of spit up and constant crying. Back to the doctor who gave higher dose of gaviscon but still very much the same.
Wasn’t gaining as much weight as he should and breastfeeding became a nightmare so changed to cow and gate formula and went back to the doctor who prescribed omeprazole. Massive improvement with the constant crying, he didn’t seem as sore, however he’s still spitting up quite a bit sometimes hours after the feed. He sounds very phlegmy and his tummy rumbles very loudly. He’s very windy from both ends and he goes days without pooping and when he does it’s like water, up his back every time and I definitely think he’s still uncomfortable at times. He doesn’t have a rash and I haven’t noticed any blood in his stool but he does smell bad. My first wasn’t like this and I know all babies are different but something just doesn’t seem right.
Any advice or suggestions anyone has will be much appreciated. Hv is due out tomorrow but I’ve not had much luck with them this will be my third hv in 3 years and all they bring me is anxiety.
