I'm sure you all know about the various probs we've been having with Oliver's digestive system and feedin probs etc by now.
Well.. He's still really constipated..he screams for 6hours solid at the end of the day, he screams when he poos (if he poos) and theres blood in it. Took him back docs and she said to stop weaning him as its too early for him which is why he's constipated...despite the fact that he's been like this on and off even before we started weaning him, she wasnt listing!
So with that we stopped the solids! We are giving him cooled boiled water and baby juice aswell as lactulose. And we stopped giving him SMA staydown for reflux as i thought that was the main reason...i thought there may be a good chance he'd grown out of reflux now he is 5months.
Well so far he is takin SMA Gold well. He hasnt been showin any of the signs of reflux such as crying during feeds, choking, spittin of arching his back which is ace. But now he's started vomiting. Not posseting, but actually vomiting pretty much as soon as he's done feeding. He was taking 6ounces, now he will only take 3 or 4. He is also sleeping alot. I dont know if he has a bug or if it is reflux again?
And as for this constipation thing..well that hasnt improved either...so it doesnt seem as if it was the solids or even the reflux treatment for that matter...which worries me as it makes me think its an actual digestive problem. But no one is listning to me. I feel sorry for my litttle man and theres not been a night thats gone by where he hasnt screamed the place down for hours in pain since he was 2weeks old. I dont know how much longer we can sit and watch him hurting. I cried myself to sleep last night, i was so heartbroken from watching him and its really exhausting.
We where in a shopping centre yesterday and he started..he sounded like he was being murderd and i was cuddling him and when i looked up there was actually a crowd around us. When he finally calmed down we went out to dinner and just after ordering food he started again..i panicked and picked him up from his pushchair and it fell back as i done so, knocking over the bottle of wine on the table which smashed and obviously went everywhere...of course everyone had a good look and i felt like smacking them By this point i felt so small and like everyone was judging me and Oli was crying that much i couldnt take anymore and i just cracked...i burst into tears and litterally ran out the restaurant like a little girl..Oliver in my arms. I was in such a mess. I felt like such a bad mum becuase i couldnt help my little boy. Now i feel like everytime i go out everyone is staring at me, which has really knocked my confidence as a mother.
I though what ever is causing all these probs he would have outgrwn by now. But clearly not. x
