Not sure if my baby has cmpa
From 2 weeks old baby was bringing milk back up and just got worse and worse. At 3 weeks old got gavascon prescribed even thought doctor said it was viral and he would stop being sick in few days but gave us gavascon anyways š¤·āāļø was still being sick and then started spitting it back out and wouldnāt take it. Heās breastfed and doctor told me to come up with creative ways for him to take it šš he still wouldnāt called again and got omprozol at 4 weeks 1ml. Got told to call back when I weigh him again to up to dose and so at just under 5 weeks I got him weighed and they able to up it to 2ml. Still not working and being sick even more and had a rash that doctor told me was viral or baby acne. Health visitor came round 6weeks old and wasnāt happy how gp has been as heās on the lowest percentile and canāt afford to lose any weight and she could see how much he was brining back up. I said I think itās dairy as I had same issue as baby she agreed could be and contacted my gp. Then gp said he will hustle prescribe dairy free formula but I said itās not that easy as heās breastfed and I want to get to the root cause of the sickness. If he was below the percential of course I would change but heās on the line still atm. Had to have a full argument with the gp just to ask for tests to be done to figure out if itās allergy. And I had to suggest to the doctor cutting out dairy myself to see if it helps. His response was you can but youāre still going to end up on formula. Felt like I was being shamed for trying to still breastfeed. Now I just feel like a horrible mum and maybe I should just switch to formula heās 7 weeks now. Iāve cut out dairy for 2 days so far. How soon did anyone see a difference once cutting out diary? I have noticed today his stomach seems less bloated. Sorry for the long post xx
He weighs 7ibs 9oz at 7weeks was born at 5ibs 7oz
This was rash few days ago it did get worse but photo isnāt very clear and he still has the rash now
