My 9 week old breastfed baby has always brought up quite a bit of milk but in the last week it's become epic - multiple spectacular fountains every time he's awake and a soaked sheet whenever he's laid down. I was thinking that the worsening might be a response to the rotavirus vaccine that he had a week ago (we've had more poonamis too), but the GP saw one of his fountains today and prescribed Omeprazole.
I'm really keen to help my little one with the constant sick but slightly concerned to put him on the medication when he generally seems like a "happy chucker'. He's not upset when sick, although he does cry when he has powerful wind or needs to poo. He will sleep soundly when being held but won't sleep if put on his back in the cot as he instantly starts rolling about like he's uncomfy.
I've not tried excluding cows milk yet as we tried that with my oldest son and it didnt help and his symptoms just naturally eased over time, so i was hopeful that that would be the case this time, but that was before the sick episodes became so constant!
I just wondered if anyone had experienced this too with their baby and how did you find omeprazole if they tried it? Thanks!
