Thank you for the tips. I will ask for reflux medication today.
He did sleep some last night, maybe that was the liquid alimentum or maybe he was just tired from the past few nights, but I'm hopeful.
To respond to a few things - my pediatrician said it's too early for GI because he's a month old. And blood in the poop is something they see all the time and not a problem because he's gaining weight.
It sounds like all a GI would do at this point is prescribe reflux medication and recommend the next level of allergic formula.
Thanks to the poster who knew in depth about the difference between nutramigen and alimentum, that was super helpful
I am sure my neighbors won't really report me to CPS, but it's a quiet neighborhood and he probably would really wake people up, and I need to save up goodwill for when he's a mischievous little boy. Also, the weather is terrible. But if he has another night like last night then I will totally take him walking- it just doesn't help my nerves any to be walking a screaming baby.
