Reflux/Silent Reflux Support

How are our little ones coping with the constipation from gaviscon? Any tips if baby has bad reflux? Have people cut down the dose or given it less frequently across the day? Has this worsened the reflux?

Can reflux affect an 8 month old baby?

My babygirl is 8 weeks as of yesterday. She has always spit up pretty frequently (at the least 3 times a day). She’s combo fed due to me having a lower supply. We tried different bottles and nipples. We have tried dairy free formula and I cut dairy out of my diet too. Then her doctor put her on a formula with rice. Her spitting up decreased then increased again most likely due to us getting a cold. Anyway, she has also struggled with gas. We have to work her legs to help her poop and fart I’d say 90% of the time. The farts sound painful tbh. She will wake up crying, grunting, and sometimes screaming because of gas. She also gets hiccups everyday that can be pretty rough and sound painful. We have gas drops I give her every day sometimes multiple times. We also give her a prebiotic and vitamin D drops every day.

What else can I do for my babygirls gas issues? By the sounds of the context, should I seek medical for her or is it normal?

How do you do tummy time with a baby who has bad reflux? My baby is sick every time I put her down on her tummy

Hiya!

My 5 week old little boy is combi fed, we are almost 50/50 BF vs Kendamil formula. He seems so uncomfortable after every feed (screaming/ bright red in the face/ voice hoarse) and we cannot lay him down. He gets super upset during burping (arched back/ clenched fists) and his stools are always very mucousy. Last night he started to do this odd swallowing action even though he wasn’t feeding and then got very upset afterwards. The ONLY thing that calms him down is putting him on my boob where he will instantly stop crying and comfort sucks himself to sleep, we have tried a dummy but will have none of it. I have absolutely no idea if he is screaming in pain or for comfort. He is a very gassy baby and it’s worth noting his half sibling has a severe dairy allergy.

Anyone got any ideas if it sounds like reflux/ potential CMPA or just a baby who wants to soothe 😅
