Sleeplessness, Reflux, Wheezing, Vomiting, Irritable, Eczema. What Is The Diet To Be Followed?

My 7 week old son has been on 5 different formulas. 4 of the formulas he has been on made him projectile vomit (even if he ate less than an ounce), wouldn't sleep, irritable, inconsolable, gaged and started wheezing while feeding. I put him on Enfamil A.R about 3 weeks ago after his pediatrician said it was reflux, for the first 2 weeks he was doing fine on it aside from staying persistently hungry even after taking 4 ounces (every 3-4 hours), now starting the 3rd week he is no longer doing so well. He recently started vomiting again and gaging while feeding, he is irritable, no longer able to sleep through the night without waking up hungry, he starts crying for hours inconsolably again ( we use dr. brown and anvent natural bottles.), He cries when we take the bottle out to burp him, he is persistently hungry, and has eczema. His doctor has been extremely unhelpful, I need help I don't know what else I can do or try. I hate seeing my son suffering and his doctor ignoring my concern for him saying I am just worried about laundry when I could care less about that I just want my son to be okay.

hello dear
thanks for your query at hcm

For 7 week old child it is better to give breast milk exclusively. It will decrease all these symptoms of milk intolerance . My recommendation would be exclusively breast feed till 6 months .
