Reflux/Silent Reflux Support

Has anyone changed their bottles and noticed a difference in reflux symptoms? Currently using tommee tippee. He was on carobel but is now off it as was severely constipated and Gaviscon doesn’t do much! Other medication risks outweigh benefits and because he’s putting on weight and the main symptom is the constant spit up in large volumes, I’ve been told to ride it out and he will grow out of it so I’m clutching at straws and hoping someone experienced a change of bottles.

My baby is 5 weeks , and since 2 weeks he started being up milk , I breastfeed , he latches so well , but I produce a lot of milk , I starting counting so he doesn’t stay longer and upright for around 40 minutes but he keeps bringing milk up 3 to 4 times before he stops , I don’t have dairy anyway as I am allergic Anyone in similar situations and any advice ?

Hi, anyone had a bad reaction to infant Gaviscon? I gave it to my baby a couple of nights ago and he woke up screaming like in pain. I decided to not give it to him anymore but today his reflux was quite bad and I let myself be convinced to give it another try. Same story, woke up screaming and crying. I mixed one sachet with breast milk and gave him half at 9 and the other around 12, while he was breastfeeding. Maybe I shouldn’t have saved half of it for later? I’m not terribly worried about the reflux because I think it’s related to the antibiotics I’m taking and I have only 2 days left.

I’ve just got this prescribed for my 5 wk old, have people had success with it being tolerated in breast milk through a bottle? I tried the syringe with the cooled boiled water but 15ml was a lot in a syringe. Going to try that into a bottle but wondered if we’d have better uptake on it mixed with breastmilk. And does anyone know if I’d follow the formula instructions (4oz)? I forgot to ask the pharmacist 😩

Hi, I’m just looking for a bit of advice or reassurance as I’m feeling a bit unsure about what’s going on.

My baby is 6 weeks old and over the last 3 days she’s suddenly started pooing loads, basically with every feed. Before this she was going about once a day. It’s making her really sore and she gets quite distressed, especially during changes.

I went to the GP mainly because of reflux, and they advised anti-reflux formula which we’ve started and it does seem to be helping the sickness. They didn’t seem concerned about the pooing, but something just doesn’t feel quite right to me.

The increase in pooing actually started before we changed formula, which is what’s confusing me. It just feels like a lot for a formula-fed baby to be going this often.

She also seems quite uncomfortable at times, straining and getting upset.

Has anyone experienced anything similar around this age? Is this something that can be normal or worth getting checked again?

Thank you
