I think my baby is broken

[SantasRubiksCube]

I'm at my wits end with my 10 week old baby😣 he's my 4th so you'd think I'd be an old pro at this already but he's just so difficult at the moment. There seems to be so many issues going on at once: he's on his second round of oral thrush treatment, he has a bit of a cold and cough (maybe linked to having his jabs last week?) despite multiple health professionals agreeing he may have issues with digesting formula we're still fighting for him to get something else, and he seems to have some kind of bottle aversion now where even though he's hungry he's just screaming and thrashing about whenever we try to feed him 😔 I know young babies can be difficult but he just seems to be so unsettled and so unhappy right now, it feels like all he does is scream, especially in the evenings.

Ah, don't give up hope. I think after 3x of relative ease, you've landed a tricky one. So brace yourself; keep trrying your usual best efforts - you'll know many ideas for babies. See your GP if it helps.

Look into CMPA or other allergies. Multiple things at once is often the first sign of an atopic/allergic baby

I’d be guessing a form of milk allergy too. I e got a friend with a baby that can’t have any dairy or soya, so had to be prescribed a particular baby formula milk.

This is what I'm concerned about, our eldest daughter had to be prescribed a particular formula as she couldn't seem to manage the normal stuff, despite my best efforts pretty much since he's been born, no one has prescribed him anything different yet. The first GP even tried to convince us to give him laxatives even though we explained his poo was already quite loose! I actually waited all day today for a GP to call about his feeding and still didn't hear back so I'll try again tomorrow 🤦🏻
