DS2 is 11 months and since about 6 months (when he started weaning) he's been having problems with constipation. Sometimes he's ok but most of the time he needs to be on lactulose.
He's been slowly slipping down the centiles for months now. When he was weighed mid September he was 19lb 3oz. When he was weighed last week he was 19lb 3oz
The week before he'd had a sickness bug and barely eaten for days but even so, that can't be normal can it?
Getting food into him recently has been really hard. For the last few weeks he's basically just thrown everything on the floor. Very recently he's started to eat from a spoon (he'd always point blank refused before) so I'm managing to get some food into him that way but it's not much. He's bf and that's probably the only reason he's not really poorly right now. But bm alone is just not enough for him anymore.
In the last 2 weeks he's had what seems to be a reaction to food. The first time he had some minestrone soup and came up with a rash all around his mouth which lasted about an hour. The second time was a few days ago when the same happened but to a lesser extent after some fruit. Then today he had the same rash but under his chin after casserole.
He also just generally always looks tired.
I don't know if all these things (or any) are linked. He's having blood tests next week because of the constipation. Don't know if I should wait to see what they say or go back to the GP before that or not.
Sorry this is so long but I've been getting increasingly worried about him for a while now and the rash after eating (although he ate very little again) today is just the last straw.
