I just need to write this post for my own sanity. I'm really getting into a bad place trying to figure out what is wrong with my DS2.
DS1 was a dream, no issues, everyone commented how they couldn't believe how good he was, I thought they were being kind, but he really was good, ate everything, slept well and NEVER cried. Like literally he would never cry, he cried for his bottle but it wasn't even a cry really.
I thought my 2nd would be similar but he is the complete opposite. If he's awake he's crying. If he's asleep he's whining in his sleep. I love him so much but it's getting really hard because I'm the only one who he will tolerate in the crying episodes.
I called my GP to tell them he was always crying. They put him on gaviscon, worked for a few days then he got constipated, worse screaming.
Took him off, screaming, red face, no sleep.
Told me to put him on reflux milk, did nothing except frustrate him even with the bigger teats.
Finally got fed up and went to Alder Hey. They put him on Nutramigen. This definitely made him better but he was still crying a lot and not sleeping well.
My doctors messed up his prescription and refused to sign a new one in enough time so I had to put him back on Aptamil and he was inconsolable. (I've changed doctors now)
New doctor put him on neocate, that doesn't seem to be doing anything so now on carobel too, no major improvements.
Hes 5 months old now and has never stopped crying, has never slept more than 3 hours and I'm just at my wits end. Lack of sleep and overall frustration are just getting to me, and I feel terrible for practically ignoring DS1.
Does anyone know any miracle suggestion I can give to my doctor because I feel like I need it right now xxx
