My son is going to be 5 months on the 4th of April. He has always been a restless sleeper and as a result got diagnosed with reflux at about 6-8 wks. He was a strange cause b/c he isnt fussy or losing weight. He was gaining huge amounts of weight but I contributed that to eating all the time to calm the reflux.
Around 3-4 months I noticed some cradle cap that I started to treat and it got out of hand and his whole head got really dry and he started to itch it like crazy. I also noticed some eczema on his back. Then I noticed some diapers that were green slime with mucus and tested positive with blood. It didnt last long and about the same time I pulled milk it resolved but I honestly think it resolved before I pulled milk. Not sure though.
Then at his 4 month well child we had found that he had lost about 5oz. I had told the doc I had noticed an increase in the spitting up so I had wondered if it was reflux.
So this is why I am here. Is this reflux or an allergy. I removed milk and it doesnt seem to be any better in the sleep department. The poop is back to normal but like I said I think it was before I removed milk. I am just at a loss. The poor kid just thrashes back and forth all night trying to sleep. I dont know if it is the reflux or an allergy. His naps are 45 mins and he wakes up angry b/c he is still tired. Before milk was removed we had a good week of awesome sleep so why did it change. I am so frustrated and I do not know what is going on:(

answered other post…but it MIGHT be both. from GROUPIE INTRO there’s a link to the ‘main’ MSPI page (actually you can go to the top of this page and click on MSPI underlined in blue and look for a top post/sticky and read there- that same post is linked to from GROUPIE INTRO
