[moljam]

im fed up with gp not doing anything!ds often gets upset tummy.we thought wed solved it by changing to goats milk and hes been fine for quite a while but has had on anf off diarhoa again!

hi moljam

I got a referral to a dietician for dd from my hv - in this area hvs can make dietician referrals but only a gp can refer to a paediatrician, I don't know if that is the same everywhere. And I have to say, my gp is quite open about knowing less than the hv about feeding infants.

thankyou,ive made appoinntment with gp on monday and hv is due in about a week so will speak them then.poor baby

Sounds like you little one is really out of sorts. How are the nights going?

nights are going amazingly well!stupidly well!hes sleeping great,doing great accepting theres no milk after his story and is waking 1-2 times instead of 6 times!and this is only 4th night.maybe i should be whispering-he'll hear and wake all night screaming!hes not really cried so its been really easy.(so far!)

That's fantastic. Dd has been waking up a lot recently (teeth), and I felt like a zombie the day after she woke up 5 times in one night. I don't know how you cope with that long term.

i dont cope!
