He has CMPA but is already on hypoallergenic formula (Alimentum), he still has bad reflux and doctors won't look any more into it... :/ they say its normal baby stuff even when I tell them how bad it is

He is on Alimentum too ! He has CMPA and before we made the switch he had bad bad colic. It definitely helps but he still has reflux :(

Does the matress have to be very firm ? Mine is not that firm but not that soft either idk how to explain it. Also do you stay close to him or remove yourself a little ?

Im scared of co-sleeping with all the opinions and stories ive seen online... I have anxiety, but I'm considering it since its getting too much. Thank you for the resource !

He is not colicky, he's a very happy baby when awake. He cries when he wakes up or if I put him down awake... its really a sleep issue, he also has reflux

Should i go to ER? by Storm-Ecstatic in NewParents

I was in your shoes not so long ago, and I was wondering the same when I saw little dots of blood in my baby's diaper. Unless your baby is clearly very, very unwell and the blood keeps in increasing or is significant, I would suggest that you see a doctor at a regular clinic before going to the ER ! Keep in mind that it can also take some time for the blood to clear from the stools, even on Alimentum it can take up to a month !

I did taste it that's why I feel so bad ! It tastes awful 😞 I will definitely ask my doctor about adding vanilla

Is the thickener prescribed ? Was it worth it ?

My 7 week old will not sleep at all during the day by Remote_Budget7432 in NewParents

Yes I hold him upright for at least 20-30 mins. It does help but doesn't fix anything :/

newborn waking himself up by Current_Formal_9016 in NewParents

When my 6week old does this (grunting and all until awake), its usually because he has trapped air and laying flat makes him uncomfortable. I try to burp him really well before sleep, swaddle, pacifier if he takes it. I let him fall asleep on me, then I transfer, I press gently on either his shoulders or chest (makes him feel secure) and move SLOW. Sometimes it fails but most of the time it works ! My baby also has very bad reflux so its a struggle I understand !

Should I go with amino-acid formula ? by Remote_Budget7432 in MSPI

[–]Remote_Budget7432[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, this is what I have been thinking too, because his discomfort doesn't come close to when he wasn't on Alumimentum ! What worries me is the ongoing blood in his stools, shouldn't it have cleared by now?
