4 month old baby eating issues!!
To all the mummies out there please help..
I am at my wits end!! I'll make this as short as possible hoping someone would read through this and maybe give me any type of advice no matter how silly it might sound..
Bub was born at 38 weeks good weight and all is well..was breastfed exclusivly until he was 5 weeks old.. Stopped due to reflux issue feom bub lots of vomiting and spitups (now I know they were trapped burps) and what I thought was low milk supply at my end.. Started mixing formula(anti reflux) and bm and all was going well.
Switched him to completely formula novalac ar and was eating 900 ml when he was 2 month old... At 2 months 3weeks we started having problems at almost every feeding.. It was a huge stuggle.. But eventually he would drink it.. At 3 months it became unbearable because he got used to all my tricks (he would still also spit up alot even after lots of burps) but no vomiting..
Went to the doc and after so many visits he decided it was acid relux abd prescribed nexum 10 mg..before I started the meds I tried increasing the number of feeds and reducing the quantity.. worked for a week and then back to the same struggle so I started nexum.. 9 days later eczema broke out on his face( stopped nexum next day) that even after applying a lipid replenshing balm 7 times a day it didnt help..
So I started with hydrocort 1% (and started the nexum again) and it was gone in 3 days. 1 day after I stopped the hydrocort the rash is back but only slightly..
He started teething at about 2.5 month..biting drooling.. And since a week he has been scratchung his head and face furiously ( which I think is what started his eczema in the first place)
He has no fever, no ear infection.. And now we struggle to get hom to eat 500 ml a day.. I have tried teething gel(since yesterday no difference)
I have changed the milk so maby times so its not the milk brand that is an issue.. This week I started giving him novalac ac he has always been very gassy since birth (last month I gave him beblac extra care..
I dont wish this on anyone but if someone passed through this plz give me ur opinion/advice..
I have been to so many docs and each have a different answer!!
One very frustrated mummy :(
