Ok after a very VERY bad day I'm after some advice ladies.
I went to the GP yesterday who was really lovely, DS cried no screamed most of the time, she was happy for me to feed while we checked him over ears etc. He hasn't slept propperly in his bed or anywere but in the sling since Sunday his wind is worse and i'm atthe end of my rope. Well I was yesterday.

He'll be sound asleep then he arches his back pulls and awful face and lets out a squeak of pain which wakes him up, then cries cos he's awake and wants to be held, or normal and completly understandable but not good for DH and I.

My GP said it may be silent reflux so we're trying him on some milanta (yes you heard me right) only 2mls before a feed. Well his normal feeds, he's been so unsettled I have topped him up a few times.

But I though oh this is making him calmer but NO, he is worse than before.

I changed the colic medicine too but have changed back to see if I can gage the milanta properly without another medication in there. OMG so many siringes around my house

My GP also said he may be lactos intolorant I hope not after all the hard work we've both put in to BF.

So last night he was in our arms in bed, DH had him for the first couple of hours then I had him, He still had the pain but obviously settled easily. At 4.40 after a feed I though "i'll try you back in your own bed, so I can cuddle with DH (need lots atm)" well he slept for an hour, I could still hear him moving with his wind but he slept then woke up Screaming mark 10! I

I'm at a bit of a loose end, I don't know if I should continue the gp medication ritual, my pediatrian is booked solid till 9/3, WHAT TO DO?

Has anyone had a lactos intolarant babe?

Hope the me post is ok, I really feel helpless at the moment.


Babe still sleeping so I'll give personals a go

Smithy nurses are big on not over feeding babie I had the same chat but I did a rasberry in my head. What ever works for you. hope the new formula works.

Kelly Happy b'day hope you had a great one

poppy oh hun I'm hoping both of us turn the corner real soon.

Kahlan I was giggling at your DH getting his fingers munched, DS loves my finger in his mouth I guess I have that to look forward too.

grub thanks for sharing your DS little adventures. I love the night snack analergy

marcellus no thrush here, I've been taking probiotics since birth as a friend got it very bad after he DD. I've been using the medication on my boobs too, lovely yellow sticky stuff.
