My 9 week old has been struggling for 7 weeks with her stomach, reflux, gas, foamy stool whilst breastfeeding, not sleeping longer than 45 minutes (we’re at 2 hour stretches now). She is on omeprazole, carobel and nutramigen. Her rash has cleared up since starting milk two weeks ago but her stomach symptoms seem to still be there she is also nasally and refuses to feed. I am
aware that newborns digestive systems take time to mature but she will strain for days unless o help her poo by pushing her legs back and she will
only do that once ever 23-30 hours. She cries and screams when feeding, and for about an hour after. If she is awake she is crying, she won’t play at all and will only do tummy time once a week if that due to being uncomfortable. Been fobbed off by GP and A&E doctor saying she just wants to be held since she was EBF the first two weeks (first A&E doctor suggested CMPA hence milk change) When I asked why that would affect her feeding I was told she doesn’t like the taste of the milk, but they had no answers to why she was also behaving like that when she was breastfed. I am totally at my wits end and spend my days inside trying to calm my baby as she is so uncomfortable 24/7. I am not enjoying any second of this newborn bubble and I am barely surviving. She will not be put down at all or put in a chair so I can’t even feed myself or go to the toilet unless a family member or dad is home. I am clutching at straws for a reason she is like this or a solution. I am question if she has a lip tie (will attached photos) as well as CMPA. I hope someone has some advice or been through this themselves that could please help or give me some hope. Or even if someone reads this and takes comfort that someone else is going through this as it is the hardest thing to watch your baby in pain and no one is taking you seriously. I am waiting for GP and HV again for advice. We also have a paediatrician appointment in three weeks time (urgent referral). I am also trying to find a private doctor at the moment who can help. I have a lot of mam guilt and feel so helpless ☹️
