My LB IS 3 weeks old tomorrow and has been what we thought struggling with wind over the past two weeks. The past week he’s begin to get more and more symptoms (will list below) and in so much pain especially at night.
Symptoms
projectile vomit (this happened Saturday with a few spit ups before hand)
- 5-7 bad nappies a day yellow/green mucus type poo
- seems extremely uncomfortable, pulling legs up to stomach, screaming in pain, arching back
- lots of sneezing and coughing
- watery eyes, then leads to green gunk
- lots (and lots) of farting
-will almost always have hiccups after a feed
- fussiness when on the bottle
- will cry after feed and we struggle to wind ( won’t sit still, arching back etc
On Saturday morning we rang 111 and they asked to go to local community hospital, the dr said he has reflux and has given us a food plan 1oz every 2hrs. We followed this throughout the day but by 11pm that night he seemed worse. So we took him to an and e at 2am. We seen two different drs which they said he seems to have colic as well as reflux. They then said we should do 2oz every 3hs.
It’s been 24hrs and he does seem a little more settled however still showing symptoms above he then went 5hrs asleep where I had to wake him for a feed, soon after he had an explosive nappy (pictured) this was 37hrs after his diarrhoea nappies.
I have messaged my health visitor she’s going to ring me back first thing and I’m going to also ring the dr in the morning I just wanted to see if anyone else has been through this and it was just colic and reflux or if my feeling is right and there’s more too it and he has a milk allergy or something else.
