Reflux and formula mamas
My girl is 6m this week and has been on reflux meds for a month now. She’s had reflux symptoms basically since she was born. She finally got meds a month ago because her symptoms were starting to present with breathing issues. I’ve always had a gut feeling that she had reflux and cow milk protein allergy. The meds were working up until this week in addition to switching to similitude pro total confront (was pro advanced before). She wasn’t pooping frequently and was not comfortable from it but now she poops every two days! Her reflux meds have stopped working as she is coughing again, spitting up like crazy, and fussy (like screams) when she hits the crib mattress. I feel so bad. I just read a lot on reflux and how meds are actually terrible and half the time it’s just masking a problem such as cow milk protein allergy. I was going to put her on a formula for this allergy but we decided to see if the meds would help (such a regret). But clearly now I’m back to thinking it’s a cow milk protein issue. Anyone go through something similar. My dr suggest oatmeal in her bottle but I’m not comfortable with that/her bottles don’t work for it. I’m going to call again in the am to ask about switching to a formula to help with cow milk protein allergy because idk what else to do. I hate seeing her like this so leave me any tip if you have them!
