I hate that my baby isn't feeling well. What I hate even more is that her pediatrician doesn't seem to be taking my opinions seriously just because she is my first baby. I really think she has a problem with lactose and that's what's causing her issues but what would I know. It's not like I work with babies everyday or anything. I say she's more gassy than normal but pediatrician straight up said "well gas is normal and she's probably fine and it's just cuz she's your first baby". That pissed me off so bad. I'm pretty sure being gassy to the point of screaming is not normal.

I would find another pediatrician and being too gassy is not normal. My niece was the same way@embersandash

@deafmama16 he basically said since she has no fever or diarrhea he has no idea what's wrong and that we should just watch her to see what happens and that it'll probably go away on its own. I'm really irritated about the whole thing

I understand @embersandash is she on formula?

Yea I would find another pediatrician too. If the baby is on formula try soy. My son had acid reflux from the time he was born till he was 3months old. He was really fussy, never seemed satisfied with a bottle, belly always was hard. My pediatrician said the same thing. Finally I couldn't take seeing my baby in pain and I took him to a children's hospital and they kept him over night to find out then that he had acid reflux. They switched him to soy formula and he was a all around new baby. It was a huge awesome change. He stayed on soy till he was about 10mths then i put him on whole milk and he loved that even more.

@deafmama16, @mfort1016 yeah she's on Enfamil Gentlease and I keep saying I want to try soy but pediatrician says wait longer and my SO wants to go with that plan and not try soy like I want to

if I was you I'd buy a can of soy and give it to her to see what she does. my son was lactose intolerant when he was born we put him on a soy formula and no more gas at all. he got a hold of his sisters sippy cup at 7 months old and hasn't had formula since. he's a year old now though of course so he wouldn't still be on formula.

@justinjrsmommy That's what I want to do but any time I mention it to my SO it just causes us to argue because he wants to wait longer. I hate feeling like I can't help her and like everyone is against me on this

@embersandash, I used the gentlease too. It helped but not like the soy. How old is the baby? You can always try soy for 48 hours, see if it helps. I can almost promise it will. Guys are always so reluctant to change especially when the doc says not to. But I always say, mother knows best. 💁🏻.

@mfort1016 She'll be 2 months on Monday. She's been on the gentlease for about a week and a half but the pediatrician says that isn't long enough to see if works. SO is calling the pediatrician now to tell him nothing has changed

2 weeks and nothing changed? that's more than enough time!

@justinjrsmommy, that's what I said. But they called in some medicine for her last night for acid reflux. So far she seems kind of better. At least she's eating now and doesn't cry as often
