So I kinda just need some support right now.. I’m at wits end and just overly exhausted and it’s making me insecure... my son had these self abusive tantrums where he just throws himself all over the place if he doesn’t get his way. He’s not sleeping through the night like he used to as well. He’s waking up screaming every hour. I’ve tried and tried to get him to neurology but we’re waiting on a call back every time I call.. I’ve taken him to the doctors several times but they’re not doing anything. To me it seems like it’s a nutritional issue, like he’s not getting enough nutrients and his doctor won’t order a blood test to check his vitamin levels. Only did a CBC and I felt like it was to shut me up.. I don’t even want to take him out in public anymore because I end up crying.. people look at me and shake their heads like I’m a terrible mom. If we aren’t somewhere he wants to be, he freaks out the entire time.. I just don’t know what to do..
Awh hun, I’m so sorry. I suggest seeing a different doctor for a second opinion or so that he can get checked out for any medical reason this may be happening. We just took my little sister in for waking up screaming bloody murder like every 30m - 1hr during the night and because she’s started rejecting bottles and milk.. the doctor was amazing. We just wanted to make sure there was no medical reason and they did all non invasive tests to make sure. Now we are seeing a pediatric nutritionist for her not drinking thing she’s doing. A doctor shouldn’t disregard or take lightly things with babies. Even though it may very well be nothing but behavioral, as a pediatrician I don’t see why they wouldn’t do an overall exam. Maybe someone else can help? Good luck mamas 💕
