UPDATE: Its definitely not reflux. His weight gain is great 10.1lbs, so she is not concerned about that. She is however pretty sure it's a milk sensitivity. We are gonna try Mylacon gas drops for 2 weeks. If it it doesn't improve we are switching to Nutramigen. However if it gets worse before the 2 weeks we are switching right away. He also has a lip tie, but it's not affecting his eating (she asked to watch me feed him, she's an amazing Dr. ) so we're leaving it for Also, not related she heard a heart murmur so we have a cardiologist appt for that. That's on top of his urologist appt for his mysterious vanishing bump. Poor guy can't catch a break. Not too mention he's not too happy about the shots he got.

I'm glad it's not reflux! And ya I didn't think about milk sensitivity. My son is 2 months and the past 2/3 weeks he's projectile vomited 3 times out of knowhere I've also cut out dairy almost a month ago to see if that helps with his fussiness and colic and so far that's not working. I also do the Mylacon drops which I like better then gripe water because my son seems to choke on them and it freaked me out so I stick with the mylacon one from now on

He loves gripe water and the Dr said we can do both so we are gonna try that.

Put mylicon directly in the bottle. I find it helps better.

Thanks! I'll try that at his next feeding.

My 18 month old had the same issue, she ended up having milk soy protein intolerance. She couldn't even stomach my breast milk, we ended up on elecare formula and as soon as we switched she was like a different baby. Hope he feels better!

@kndg Thank you! We're gonna do everything we can. He's my miracle baby and I'd move the stars for him, for both my miracle boys❤

Awwww how did his shots go?
Mary·
@beautiful they went about as well as you'd expect. He's been upset and fussy since he got them, and he keeps spitting out the tylenol. Hoping he feels better tomorrow but for tonight it's all about the extra snuggles and a fresh pot of coffee for momma. In good news we only had 1 small vomit episode so I'm hoping Gas drops was all he needed.

Awe poor guy! I'll be thinking of him ? I'm sure the heart mummer is probably like my younger son it was an innocent one. He was two months also when they told me I freaked out after reading online but the doctor who looked at him also told me most of the time when it's a serious condition it's noticeable at birth

@mamapaki. Hugs. Thanks! He had a good night, slept almost 9 hours. My Dr said the same thing about the murmur so fingers crossed. We have family history of congenital heart defects in both sides (my sister and MIL) so there's always that little bit of fear but this murmur just developed and I had a fetal Eco during my second trimester and everything looked good so hoping for the best.

Awww poor guy. Great job mom staying on top of everything for your miracle. Hope the night went well. Hug ? for you both!

He slept almost 10 hours ? then woke up around 9:30am, ate 6oz and went back to sleep for 3 more hours. He just ate another 6oz and fell back asleep. He's only spit up once so far and just tiny vomit. So I'm optimistic.
