One of my 8 months old twin son did not breastfeed from day one so I gave him prenan. Everything was ok till 1st month then suddenly one day he vomited. After 2 days he vomited again. I took him to his pediatrician who prescribed perinorm. But the chemist mistakenly gave me azithromycin. Which I gave him for 3 days x 3 times. My baby' s vomiting worsened after that. He started vomiting 4 - 5 times a day. And did not take his feed easily. As if he is never hungry. Till now he do not like to be fed and if fed anyhow, he vomits. It' s 7 months now but he has no relief from his vomits. His weight gain is about 200-250 gms per month.

How much he is weighing at 7 months? azithromycin may have nothing to do with this. Force feeding might be the reason of vomiting, if weight is appropriate, leave him alone, respect his wishes. Stay cool.

We recommend breastfeed for 20 -30 minutes. Hence it seems either he is not sucking properly. Please take weight before and after breastfeed to find his sucking ability. Feeding in neonates is almost every hourly in day time but for 10-15 minutes.
