I need help!
my daughter who is 5 weeks old was on kendamil milk originally and was gaining a good amount of weight however over the past 2 weeks she has become really difficult to feed. Will take 2oz then squirm about, it was like she was hungry and wanted the milk but was in pain, with a little bit of spit up. The dr prescribed gaviscon but there was no improvement. Over the last 3 days she has been being sick, a large amount, around half an hour after feeding me (although not after every feed) again I took her to the dr, tbh he wasn’t that helpful. He weighed her, and she has lost weight, then prescribed nutramigen. We went to the chemist and it wasn’t in stock which was my initial worry, I really don’t want to be having to source milk and it being difficult! they said they could order it in. After speaking to my cousin, her daughter was the same and she suggested a lactose free milk, so out of sheer desperation we bought some aptamil lactose free, stupidly I thought nutramigen was lactose free but now know it’s cmpa milk. Anyway, daughter has had a few feeds on the lactose free, and she is less fussy and it’s squirming, but she is only having 2oz of milk… she just falls straight to sleep, I’ve tried changing her after the 2 oz to wake her up, she will wake but as soon as the bottle is back in her mouth she goes back to sleep, won’t even latch. She’s going every 3 hours and I’m now very concerned that she isn’t getting enough milk. I have no idea what to do for the best, I must add that on kendamil she was having 3oz feeds, sometimes 4!
my first born wasn’t anything like this, please any advice would be greatly appreciated
