Not gaining weight!
I have no clue what to do at this point my Lo is on SMA althera. The formula was way too thin she was throwing up whole bottles so started using carobel that worked she gained 1lb in 2 weeks but became very constipated so we stopped using the carobel she started throwing most of the bottle back up and gain 1oz in 2 weeks… she also is still arching her back/throwing herself back after feeds and in discomfort with being constipated. She has also started getting a very slight rash on her face again I feel like I can’t win!
Shall I go back to the gp

Try adding breastmilk to your formula
Check the ingredients is it amino based or hydrolysed milk protein based?
it’s milk protein base maybe that is the issue 🤦🏻♀️
yeah I'd switch to an amino based one
More than likely need an amino acid formula or reflux needs medicating with a PPI. Are you weighing at home or under a HCP team? X
the health visitors have been weighing her. They said to wait 3 more weeks weigh her again then go back to the gp if she still hasn’t gained much but she has a review at the gp next week so I may just mention it then xx
