Hi Everyone!
In the last week my LO has really gone off milk and solids. I think he may have some kind of tummy bug as he is also being sick anything from 3 times to 5 times a day. He was never a sicky baby before then. He generally seems quite happy in himself and is showing no other signs of a bug so it is baffling me a bit. I have been to the Docs and they prescribed infant gaviscon but would reflux suddenly just appear at 7 and a half months? He has been being sick for about a week and his solids and milk consumption have dwindled hugely in that time. I went to A&E on Monday as I am petrified of how little he is eating and they advised to put him on dioralyte for 24 hours and clear his system of milk so I did that and reintroduced milk again today but he has been sick again3 times :( and really doesnt want much milk at all! He was breastfeed with one formula bottle a day for the first 6 months and then has been purely formula fed for the last 6/7 weeks which had been going well, as well as three meals a day. He is only taking about 10 ounces of milk at most for the past few days. He has always been 9th centile so I have reached out to the HV to have him weighed as I do not want him to dip down to 2nd. He saw his cousin last week and she has a tummy bug so I am assuming it is that but my Mum suggested he could have become allergic to dairy potentially but he has been fine with formula and yogurt before this. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I just want him to eat properly again, it's like I'm trying to pour poison down his throat when I give him milk! He was never a huge eater so would have 20oz a day before this and the meals but has no interest in either now and hasn't for a week, I thought a bug would clear by now! He is losing all his lovely fat!! Any experience/advice would be great!
