projectile vomiting- please HELP!
Hi ladies, im looking for some advice, my lo is 12 weeks and shes been bringing her milk bk up after a feed- not just a little bit, it looks like all the milk she has taken(very projectile). This has been happening on and off since she was born- some days shes ok, other days she seems to b sick after every feed, Ive always been fobbed of with all the health professionals- and eventually was given gaviscon. spoke to hv 2day and it was jus a waste of time, she jus commented "oh does she, bless" had her weighed 2 weeks ago and she was 11lb 12oz and 2day she weighed 12lbs, so only put on 3oz in 2 wks??? she only takes 4oz bottles- sometimes doesnt finish them so its not as if shes overfed, i really dont know who to turn to nxt, was wondering if shes lactose intolerant?? but if she was wouldnt she b sick after every feed?? help ladies, what should i do? xxx

vicky&summer- i started her on sma gold wen she was born but was so unsettled, so changed to aptimal easy digest but things didint improve and she had diahorrea aswel but kept her on it for about a month to c if she would get used to it and in the end i gave up with that and put her on aptimal 1, things improved and now seem to b getting worse again. Today she took 3oz at 9.30am which stayed down, then took 3oz at 1.30pm which came straight up again, 2oz at 6.30pm which came up then was screaming so gave her rest of bottle (2oz) which she kept down then she had 2oz at 11.30pm and has now gone to bed for the night where she will sleep for 12 hrs- surely thats not normal?? the hv seems to think so, she said all babies r different and take different amounts of milk. x
I am now on Enfamil AR formula which is thicker and has an anti reflux property which also stops heartburn which causes pain. This has helped stop the projectile but she still is sick a lot.....washing galore. I also worried re the lactose issue as everyone seems to say that but apparently diahorrea is the symptom of LI....confusing. I did try lac free formula ( along with every other one going) and it didnt help.
If she is in pain too i would def ask your HV re enfamil formula and give it a try. You can get it on prescription which is a massive help.
best of luck x
If you want to chat or have any questions then please feel free to e-mail me hun! xxxx
only answer is to go back to the docs and KICK ARSE!!! Insist she is refered to a paediatrician.
Hope thing pick up for you both soon.

I havent got any answers for your problems, as I have never had this with my daughter,
However, I would suggest that you write a list of questions to ask the doctor and follow on questions. If the dr notices that you have done a bit of research, they know that they cant just fob you off. So if you asked, do you think shes lactulose intolerance and they said no. Then you said, should I try her on some LI milk/the other types people on here have suggested. They'll then realise that you know your stuff. Does that make sense. Also like diahhorea (sp) etc, they are things that can get easily forgotten in a consultation whilst discussing otehr things. If you have the list of questions with you, you can keep asking the DR qus until you get an answer you like. Does that make sense?
