I've had a fed up day. Ds1 9 weeks had first injections and is very unhappy, but he's been unhappy since birth. This week he has behaved quite oddly, nappys once every two days but very liquid and mustard colour (bottle fed). Sicking up a lot of food, or not finishing bottles. Screaming as if starving hungry but then only taking an ounce, and not settling to sleep at 7 like usual, taking up to two hours to settle down. Visted Doc and she keeps saying reflux and use gaviscon but I'm not convinced. Gave him some this afternoon and the whole lot came back up again. Only sleeping for few hours at night and then won't settle again. He'll be half asleep and then suddenly open his eyes wide and scream at the top of his lungs. Convinced it's not colic as he's not pulling legs up and he had colic earlier on and this seems very different.
Am I just expecting too much at this young age. Do these things just ride themselves out?
Am exhausted and don't know what else I can do to help him.
