Reflux? CMPA? Help
Ill be taking her to the doctors, but from peoples experience - does this sound like normal newborn reflux or a cows milk protein allergy?
Almost 4 weeks old, born at 8lb 2 at 37 weeks via c section, neonatal jaundice for the first week so lost a bit of weight and currently weighing just over 9lb. Formula fed...
- sick after most bottles, sometimes a little, sometimes a lot
- is held upright for a good 30 - 40 minutes after each bottle, but is still sick after this time anyway
- sounds very congested still, especially when lying down and after shes been sick.
- arches back a lot after feeding and seems to be wincing a lot for a good while after feeds and she does this throughout the night too
- knees up to chest a lot throughout the day
- slight rash consistantly on neck and face, but looks more spotty than rashy? Developed more in the last 2 weeks as she wasnt born with it
- hard tummy after feeds

Obviously I am not a doctor! BUT my baby had very similar symptoms and were slowly getting worse had taken to the doctors and eventually a&e and told it’s reflux/colic. We tried all the special formulas and the only thing that worked was fully switching to the pre-made bottles we use kendamil and she has been completely different isn’t in pain and no rash. Hope this helps and baby is doing better now!!

Colostrum
Started harvesting my colostrum last night. I managed to get 1ml from one breast (could’ve collected more but as it was my first time I didn’t want to overdo it) but when I went to collect from the other breast I got nothing, only a little drop. Is it normal to get more colostrum in one breast than the other?

Overnight nappy recommendations?
My boy is a heavy night wetter and sleeps on his tummy.
He's 6 months and in size 4 nappies.
He wakes for 1 or 2 bottles and goes back down easy, unless we change his nappy, then he's harder to get back to sleep.
We've tried, pampers + and the pampers nappy pants. What are all the boy mumma's using for overnight nappies?
Obviously I'm not letting him wet through and I change him in the night but just wondering if theres a better nappy for overnight so we all get better sleep.
