Would she get the formula free from the chemist now . I know the formula can be hard to get hold of
Maybe she should pay to see a private paediatrician instead of going to a hospital where there needed for more serious things she waited 7 weeks to get her seen when she's been in pain so can't be that bad . She was always changing Millie's formula and was always complaining about her not sleeping and crying all the time .
Yes the prescription milk is free because it’s essential if you are unable to breastfeed (and be dairy free) for whatever reason. It’s about £25 a tub for 3 days worth of powder - very expensive and we’re lucky it’s on prescription.
We went to the hospital when little man was 7 weeks old, because that’s when his rash presented and he rapidly declined. Prior to that he had been very refluxy and unsettled and I had tried to get him help elsewhere (health visitors, midwives, GP etc) but everyone just kept saying take him to A&E to see a paediatrician. Ridiculous that it happened like that but it’s what it came to and we spent hours in A&E this New Year’s Eve to see a paediatrician and that was after I had tried 111, the pharmacist, GP and health visitor in the days prior.
When it’s your baby, you do what you need to get them help.
Babies can get diagnosed with CMPA months down the line. 7 weeks isn’t that old for the diagnosis, the paediatrician said its normal for the rash to start small around the face and spread down the body as time goes on.
