For weeks after my son was born we had issues with his feeding, he would scream in agony for 8 hours solidly each day, could not feed or be pacified. A total of seven health professionals didn’t / or couldn’t diagnose his condition. There should be more training to spot the condition and it should form part of a routine, standard check at birth for every newborn.
