Sorry this might be a bit long but I need to get it all out to try and make sense of it.
Ds2 is 6 months old and in the last week (since we moved him into own room and tried him on solids) has turned into a different baby.
He's been on anti reflux milk since the beginning. We tried him on baby rice and he reacted violently so on advice of hv I took him to gp.
He said give him gaviscon in his usual milk. He has a bit of a cough so said hold off weaning again until cough has gone as that would be making his reflux worse..
I then read on packet that gaviscon shouldn't be used with a thickening agent so checked with pharmacist and she said don't use with anti reflux milk get normal stuff.
He now refuses all milk. I've tried normal milk with gaviscon, anti reflux milk with no gaviscon, then with gaviscon and hes refusing it all. He just wants to sleep.
His nappies are normal and he still plays a bit but he's nowhere near his normal self. I weighed him and since his last weigh in a couple of months ago hes dropped from 91st to 75th centile - although not lost weight it's just slowed right down.
I can't feel any teeth coming through and hes not dribbling so don't think it's teething.
I have given Calpol just before feeds in case his throat is sore from coughing but that makes no difference.
I did think if he's poorly hes just lost his appetite but he seems hungry - hes grabbing the bottle and putting it in his mouth, taking a couple of sucks before pushing it away before crying and pulling it back again. So he must be hungry.
Does anyone have any advice please im worried sick?
