Struggling to feed :(

My little girl was prescribed Nutramigen 1 LGG last Tuesday and we are still finding that she is fussy with the majority of bottle feeds. She may take a couple of ounces , cry, push the bottke away, turn her head, grunt… then I can sometimes get her to take another couple of ounces a bit later, half hour - one hour.

She had posterior tongue tie and this was corrected on Sunday- again I don’t see this has made a difference yet with her feeds.

Yesterday she was screaming out, holding her breath crying at times when passing poo. Bringing her legs up. Arching her back.
She had 3 yesterday, they tend to all be quite explosive. On Nutramigen her poo is more pale green and slightly thicker consistency than when she was on normal Aptamil and Kendamil.

I am so worried about her. It’s becoming more of a struggle to get her to feed and she’s becoming more unsettled in the day.

Any advice please

Call your GP and if you can't speak to them, go to A&E. When they're tiny feeding is the key indicator of well-being. In this weather it's extra important that she gets enough fluids. Trust your maternal instincts, the doctors will take them very seriously. How old is she exactly? I'm assuming less than 6 weeks due to recent TT division? Good luck.

Hi, she’s 12 weeks
the TT was missed at hospital, i just had a gut feeling she was and took her to a private clinic on Sunday

Saw the GP today and he’s given her baby gaviscon to try
