No, thank you so much for helping me! It's positively exhausting and I'm starting to get really anxious and upset by everything...
She is on losec liquid (2mg/1ml 3 times a day), haven't tried anything else but this stuff worked with my DS. Which is why I wonder if it's not reflux at all.
The issue I'm having with feeding is that she can't handle the flow of any of the teats, she spills it all out of her mouth. The only one she doesn't do it with is a premise teat but of course she takes 10 minutes to drink about 10-20ml so gets fussy and upset yet anything faster and she then spills, takes heaps of air, spits up and is fussy from both hunger and discomfort. Have tried so many bottles, even variable teats and she can't seem to have a
As for being settled; no, she's never been 'settled'. I had a super fast flow and ridiculous oversupply of breastmilk and she was extremely uncomfortable with it regardless of the care I took to feed her so we reluctantly gave that away. Now on the bottle she's similar... She's also had a UTI at 2 weeks which lead to 2 days of IV antibiotics and then 5 days oral antibiotics.
I've switched formulas to Novalac Colic a week ago from an Australian brand called 'Bellamy's Organic' as I thought it was making her excessively gassy. The colic formula has 30% less lactose and she seems to handle it better but the way she feeds is so haphazard.
I'm going to get some dr Browns bottles tomorrow and really hope they help. We've been using the Pigeon brand which are highly recommended here but I can't seem to get her feeding well.
