Doctors aren’t concerned?! Updated

Question

My 3 month old has struggled with his stomach since he’s been born. He spits up/ throws up a lot, only weighs 10 pounds at 3 1/2 months. 
Hes been spitting up this crap but the doctor isn’t concerned I’ve took him 10+ times and they do nothing. 
What do y’all think I should do? I’m at a loss... 
UPDATE: so I took him to the doctor this morning and he saw his normal pediatrician who did seem very concerned about the color. She put him on Zantac

These are all different days. No blood in poop

Answer

I'm no Dr but that does not seem normal to me! I would definitely be looking for a second opinion if I were you! Even if your Dr is right and there's no need to be concerned at least it would give you some piece of mind.
The weight also seems concerning to me! My 3 week old is almost 10lbs!

Answer

Acid reflux? Maybe switch your doctor too if it is acid reflux it’s very common in children and can be fixed with medication and a new type of formula made specifically for treating acid reflux

Answer

My daughter was like this too! It was acid reflux. I ended up just taking her to the hospital for it and asked for a referral to a gastroenterologist, he gave us a medication and after 8 months of my daughter throwing up all over she was better

Answer

See a different doctor

Answer

Try Gripe Water... they come in drops for babies... works great for colic/ spit up/ gassy babies

Answer

This seems far worse than acid reflux, my son has severe acid and it never got this bad but my cousins child was born with a stomach problem and she also made it worse from feeding him to soon and he had to have surgery done at the age of three months because his stomach was absolutely destroyed, he was always throwing up and could never keep food down and was not gaining weight and was throwing up blood and greenish stuff, he also just never seemed happy

Answer

I recommend that you ask to see a pediatric gastrointestinal physician . My son was having very unusual stool issues for over 2/3 months, it was daily, that was of a  mucus consistency, and would throw up. After a few visits with his pediatrician, she recommend a specialist for our Son. During the visit, they will ask many questions about the baby’s behavior and diet, your home life, they will probably ask you to do blood tests, and collect samples to be tested, and/or recommend a different diet. Its okay to get a different opinion,take pictures and document when your baby has these issues, time and date with detail in the log to help pass along the doctor. Doctors usually say as long as your baby is gaining weight, shows no signs of being in any pain or having a fever, they dont worry as much, but you have to demand more for your baby. Voice you concern, they shouldnt have a problem since any visits/tests will be paid by you or handled through your medical insurance for for the baby.  Hope they figured out whats going on! Good luck!

Answer

My little man is 11 months old. We’ve been dealing with the same stuff since birth as well. He’s only 14lbs currently. At 6 months, we started seeing a GI specialist. The only thing that has been accomplished is to figure out what he doesn’t have. It’s a struggle but, when you discover the foods/movements that make things worse and cut them out, it helps tremendously. Good luck!

Answer

My little guy did that. Took him to Children’s and they diagnosed him with a dairy intolerance. Got rid of dairy and he was a hole different baby, much happier. We were dairy free for 6 months and he has grown out of it. Get him checked for that.
