Name: Rita
My baby girl is 11 months old. She had cough & cold at 8 months and was also introduced on formula milk from exclusive breastmilk at the same time.
She started vomitting her milk from then onwards. Her stools are solid. Initially we thought it was the cough but vomitting continued even when she got better in a few days.
She has been vomitting since then everyday atleast twice a day only her milk feed and sometimes her solid feed (if its liquidy).
We have changed her formula milk but no use.
Doc introduced soya milk. But forceful vomitting continues as soon as she finishes her milk.
Quantity of milk she has is also less: 180ml per feed - 3 feeds in a day (out of which 2 are vomitted) intead of 240 ml 4 times a day.
Doc suspected it could be pyloric stenosis, where the stomach to intestine passage is blocked, but ultrasound shows everything internally is ok. But she continues to vomit.
With all the regular twice a day vomitting since October, her weight is also not increasing for a while now.
Doc says something in the environment may not be suiting her. It cud be some allergy. Either milk or
dustmites or may be the water is not suiting her or
its just reflux. Doc hopes it to get better with time.
She is currently being given antihistamine which has to be continued for a while for the allergy. No side effects except increase in appetite. Doc says that many babies will grow out of the allergy after a while
say about 1 year old or so.
There should not be any milk in her diet in any form. So, no cow' s milk(formula), yoghurt, cheese, or cereal
(with milk). (cereals without added milk is ok).
She is on soya milk diet totally and solids like
khichri etc will continue.
The doc also plans to try pediasure (if it suits her)
as soon as she is 1 to catch up on her weight.
Hoping that the problem gets sorted soon. She is
otherwise very active.
If anyone has faced a similar problem or can help in anyway, would be really grateful.
Thanks in advance.
