We've had a very unsettled baby since 2 last weeks old. We've tried gaviscon, omeprazole, then was prescribed aptamil pepti 1 and referred to a paediatrician who was adamant it was a bit of reflux and that she would outgrow it. The pepti didn't make a huge difference but she would have her good days. So we carried on. We did stop her omeprazole early on as we found it so stressful trying to get it down her.
Anyway 5 months on and she's been grizzly for about a week. She had her jabs so thought it was that. She had a few days of ever so slightly green poo and after speaking to the HV she said it sounded like a bug or could be teeth.
She dribbles and constantly is biting down on hands or anything she can get in her mouth.
She appears hungry but when feeding she doesn't seem hungry. She's off her milk and not enjoying it as much.
The grizzles are really getting us down - we are so tired and I know it's not her fault
Just want to settle her
I'm feeling more and more anxious
She sleeps well but can be quite noisy. She goes down around 7ish and will normally have a dream feed around 11-12 or if we don't we will wake for a feed early morning then is usually awake 4-6am - like she wants to be up for the day.
My question is do we push for an amino acid milk? That was my next step a while ago but she did sort of settle ish
But now she will cry/grizzle/moan pretty much throughout the day. It's definitely regressed
GP won't change milk or didn't last time I asked and paed DR said he would see how she goes at next app ( end jan where she will be 6 months!) but that's still a month away
Paed was dismissive as she's gaining weight, no blood in poo or exthma
Please help anyone that's gone through it
I'm so tired
