Aeroplane travel and using tommee tippeee anti colic bottles

Going away on Friday and read online that the anti colic bottles just leak everywhere because the air pressure sucks up the milk into the air valve 😣 We don’t want to change bottles with our little one though.

Carobel v Anti-Reflux Formula

My LO has had reflux from day 1, but had been gaining weight so the midwife/HV weren’t concerned. Last week she was weighed and hadn’t gained weight in 2 weeks so I was advised to try Carobel, but this seems to have made her stools fully formed and she strains and cries when having bowel movements.

We ramped up to 3 meals because as soon as he got a taste for solids he started flat out refusing milk but was also upset because h...
