Don’t know what to do for the best?
So my girl is 6 weeks. She has really bad reflux on normal formula. Will scream in pain for a good hour after a feed and bring up milk quite a few times. She has been on anti-reflux milk which solved this issue but made her massively constipated. She was given laxatives to help with this but she was then having 10+ watery stools a day.
We don’t know which is best. Keep her on regular formula and deal with the screaming and her being in pain from the reflux, or continue with the thicker formula/laxatives and deal with the very watery stools?
GP’s and HV have been no help either.

Is she screaming on the thicker formula/laxatives? If not then the watery stools any day as she's clearly no longer in pain. They'll get better over time but don't think its a good idea keeping her on normal formula if it's causing her that much pain and distress
Have you tried a more sensitive formula? Like kendamil goat milk or Bobbie gentle formula?

I'd rather watery stools than the baby screaming in pain personally unless someone can suggest a better solution x
