Having a nightmare!
in Baby
Hi ladies,
Any help or similar experiences would be great.
Ellis is 10 weeks now & up until a week & half ago he had loved his bottles. He is now refusing feeds & its getting worst. I saw the GP before we went away last week & she gave him baby gaviscon as he starts off the bottles fine but after winding he wont take anymore & screams when we try to give it too him. She said it sounds like silent reflux. Gaviscon worked okish but it made him constipated so we stop that. I have tried Dr Brown bottles & he has Infacol before every feed. He should be having roughly 780mls a day but we have been struggling to get him to take 500mls over the last few days & so far today he has only taken 300mls of milk & 40mls of water. Other than the feeding issue he is happy in himself, smiling & playing as normal. He even started sleeping through the night when we was away so thats another feed he misses out on. He has a dream feed at 11pm & I woke up on purpose to try & do this again at 3am this morning but he was out for the count, nothing would wake him.
I have another GP appoinment booked for monday but Im so worried about how much/little milk he is taking over the weekend that I really dont no what to do xxx

But it could also be teething? I know it sounds a little early but could possibly be.
Hope the doctor has some good advice for you.
