FTM and we have been struggling since my son was born. He was two weeks early and from the start had a hard time eating. He couldn’t latch properly even after a lactation consultant and I had to pump to fed him (start of feeling like a failure). Then he was in constant pain and we did everything to help. I cut dairy, we did exercises, two acid reflux medications, gentle ease formula. None of it worked. We were referred to a specialist who tested his poop and said he is allergic to milk and put him on a hypoallergenic formula. We have been on it a week and he is only doing a little better.

He wakes up screaming and has a hard time pushing poop out. We are at a loss. The worst part for me is he is he always seems unhappy and uncomfortable. Other moms have posted pictures of their baby smiling and all he does is frown.

After only two hours of sleep my husband and I cried last night. I am so worried something is developmentally wrong with him and it’s my fault because I couldn’t breastfeed him or I worried to much when I was pregnant with him. We even said to one another we didn’t want to have another kid because this has been so hard. Any moms with hard babies have advice?
