Brief Answer:
Try switching back to breastfeeding
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Let me emphasize on the fact that breast milk is the best possible milk for a baby and there can be no alternatives for the same. Most formula milks are cow milk based and hence difficult to digest. Moreover they make the child more prone to complications and infections. Vomiting and colics are likely outcomes. Mother's breast milk is produced on the demand of the baby. Hungrier the baby, more vigorous is the suck. More is the suck, more is the amount of breast milk produced. Giving formula automatically reduces the demand of the baby and thereby the production of breast milk. All you need to do is to switch back to exclusive breast feeding and the production will increase automatically. All you need to do is to monitor the urine output. If the frequency is more than 6 times in 24 hours, you would know that the amount of feeding is adequate. If the amount of passage of urine is less or if the child is lethargic you would need to take the child to a doctor without delay.
Babies often get colics especially when on formula feeds. In such a case switching back to breast milk should provide relief. You should burp the baby for at least 15-20 mins after each feed. All you need to do is to hold the baby head end elevated for this duration. The sound of burp does not matter. The extra air taken causes distention and hence colics. Proper burping will ensure its escape and the milk will not regurgitate back from the stomach to the food pipe, thus providing relief. You can otherwise give Coliaid Drops when needed.
Urinary tract infection is a likely cause of colic and a colony count greater than 100000 in urine necessiates treatment with IV antibiotics. Unfortunately I do not find the report attached. The stool culture does not matter. There is bacteria in everybody's stool.
Regards

Brief Answer:
IV Antibiotic suggested
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the attachment. Although, there seems to be sensitivity to amoxycillin clavulinic acid (oral), the oral absorption in children of this age can be erratic and therefore IV treatment with piperacillin tazobactum or meropenem should be good. I would not prefer amikacin.

Hi doc
We did the ultrasound done to rule out if there is my pyloric stenosis but the report seems ok I am attaching the same for your reference too... my son is still vomitting a lot after every feed and it’s more like projectile vomitting also I want to ask his bun and serum creatine report was done and the values are
Serum creatine is 0.20 for which the normal range is 0.20 to 0.40
And blood urea nitrogen is 5 and the normal range is 5 to 18
Both are less and in the upper limits so I want to know what does this mean he has problem with kidneys ?? He is 50 days old
Please advice
