Unhappy baby
in Baby
Hi all!
this is my second baby, he’s almost 11 weeks and I just need some advice.
my first baby had problems with reflux and breastfeeding, I continued for 18 month with a task getting him off boob. this time round i have chosen to bottle feed and I really regret it.
my new born son is never happy, if he’s awake he’s crying. He doesn’t sleep much at night and is a very light sleeper. Anyway sorry to go on, he has since been diagnosed with reflux, colic and is on a milk allergy formula (Pepti). He’s constantly straining in pain, barely poos (once every 4-5 days). Passes awful wind, when he farts he screams. Iv seen my gp multiple times and feel I have exhausted all options, I’m waiting to see a paediatrician (50 day wait list) and wondered if anyone can pass on any advice. I dread feeding my baby as he screams and I generally uncomfortable.
Hoping for some advice
thanks for reading x

Have you tried aptamil Pepti? I definitely think this has helped him. Also, is she on RAnitdine ? I’m not so sure my baby even has reflux but one day without the ranitidine and he was back to old ways. I have stopped using gripe water and infacol, could be that he’s starting to outgrow the wind problems I suppose but I think now he’s settled on the Pepti it’s really helped. If you haven’t tried that, speak to your doctor because it has to be prescribed. Your little one has similar problems to mine.
i use dr brown bottles and sometimes he does struggle with wind but definitely more so with gas. How is your babies BM? My baby would go days without a poo but that’s slowly improved since Pepti.
hope this helps!
