My little boy is 5 weeks old tomorrow he struggles with reflux and is on gaviscon but he’s constantly gagging for ages after a bottle which stops him from settling and sleeping, any advice on how to help him? Is this normal?

My 5 week old has episodes of breathing quicker than usual the HV said it was fine and wasn't concerned. He was born at 38 weeks and not had any steroids for his lungs. Does anyone know when this will settle down?

My son is 15 months old, recently I feel like his bottles of cows milk are causing him to get painfully constipated, I’ve just bought some soy milk to see if that helps him at all, he’s only on one bottle in the morning and night now, anyone else found this with cows milk?

Has anyone experienced this, can it start as little as 3 days old in babies?

Has anyone else been told by health visitors that they shouldn’t use Johnson’s baby bath as the ph levels are too high?

I've always been for immunisations and have never thought otherwise. However, my friend is very anti-vax and it got me thinking as my little one is due his in January. What are peoples opinions on immunisations? For and against, I'm here for them all! 💉 (no judgement on people's comments please)

Baby current has tonsillitis which is horrible but has been on antibiotics for a few days now so is definitely more himself.

I am becoming a very worn out, desperate Mama. My daughter is 4 weeks and seems to have what I think is a combination of reflux and silent reflux, she is sick after most feeds and if she isn't she is very uncomfortable, goes red, squirms, almost like the reflux travels up and makes her uncomfortable, at first I thou...

My Lo is 5 weeks old and I have recently changed his formula from Aptamil to Hipp organic. He was fine 1st 2 days but it’s been 3rd and 4th day he has been constipated.

My 6 month is really constipated after weaning, is there anything anyone would recommend giving him

Hi my 6 week old has CMPA, his been put onto Neocate which has helped his poos and the moaning and groaning at night however, his silent reflux has been ten times worse, doesn’t like to lay flat on his back, cry’s whilst drinking his bottle etc, presuming it’s because Neocate is thinner. However he does have a poste...

If any of your little ones are suffering from this awful reflux, I highly recommend you do a food diary and see if there’s any links. I did this and have since figured out it appears my daughter has a dairy intolerance. I breast feed so have cut it out of my diet. She is also no longer having Gaviscon as a side effe...
