Hi to all the parents out there!
Thankyou for even reading this. I'm lost. I'm a new mum but I immediately knew something was wrong with my boy.
Fast forward 6 months, he has a diagnosis of Macrocephaly, Diastasis Recti, Umbilical Hernia, GERD, Colic, Milk Allergy and now Precocious Puberty.
My 6 month old has pubic hair.
I have been fighting to prove that there is something else they are missing as he can be inconsolable for hours, struggles to sleep and stay asleep. Has an awful cough and sounds like he smokes 40 cigarettes a day but his lungs are apparently clear. Sweats profusely when he is in distress. Has outward directing eyes. Burps for England even with infacol, struggles to pass gas and can be in agony for hours and when he passes it, it is with extreme force like its trapped or kinked inside.
Doctors, Paediatricians and Consultants have all played it down, like I'm the one with the issues and that my son isn't really that bad. I have struggled for 6 months alone, (no partner or father as he is a donor baby and I've wanted this for years) I have no family either and my friends say that he is a bit to 'extra' for them to mind him. I don't begrudge them for it, as my son can be hard to handle but also just a small amount of empathy is to much to ask from them. He has never been away from me for more than 3 hours and i rarely leave him anyway, its been very hard to say the least but my boy was my choice. What I'm hoping to get from this thread is if there is anyone out there that's had any of these issues with their babies, or are in the same boat themselves, I would love to hear from you, I'm hoping someone, anyone could shed some clarity on what I need to keep doing, fighting and even a possible syndrome that could explain these issues and that I'm not completely alone in this as I'm really feeling deflated and more alone than I ever felt before.
Again thankyou for your time,
Holly and baby Laike
