Hi there
I am desperate for some help!!! My beautiful baby boy is 12 weeks old and over the last couple of weeks has refused to eat/drink his formula. He was in hospital for 5 days last week and they have diagnosed him with bad reflux. He is on 2 medicines for his reflux and gavisgone in his bottle. He seemed to be getting better in hospital and taking his milk (only 50% of what he should be having) and at first we could only dream feed him but then he took the bottle awake but over the last few days, he is refusing his bottle again and i cant get him to dream take it either. He also has colic which starts about 5pm. Before anyone says i have tried 4 different formulas including a soya one, 2 different bottle with every different teat you can buy all the remidies like colic drops, colief, infracol, gripe water. He has seen a cranial ostepath 3 times which has done nothing. I have tried giving it to him in a cup on a spoon and he just wont take it. He is currently on aptimal and has Dr Brown bottles he shows every sign that he is hungry but takes 2 sips and screams. I am all over the place and dont know what to do. Please someone help me!!!!

Not a professional but I think you should go back to the doctors as soon as possible if he's not taking anything at all.
