Silent reflux formula

I literally just posted about this!!! Was thinking of trying Hipp as she is just not tolerating it after 3 months and trying EVERYTHING. I was going to start with the regular Hipp before going to the reflux and see if it helps that it’s less rich.
My LO has bad reflux since birth and Kendamil comfort has really helped. She was originally on organic. X
Thanks all. How’s it going @Kate ?
@Gemma the hipp was a disaster! She reacted much worse than the Kendamil, so switched back to the organic. We actually just picked up an infant gaviscon prescription today, so fingers crossed this helps! If it doesn’t they are going to look at potentially a cows milk allergy. What did help symptoms but didn’t solve before the gaviscon was infacol before every feed and gripe water after.
@KateAww poor thing! Fingers crossed for the Gaviscon! And that’s interesting about Infacol and gripe though!
@Gemma the gaviscon has been a hugeeee improvement ! No more screaming after she drinks and arched back. Hoping it continues!
@Yasmin hi I just switched hers to comfort 3 days ago, how long did you use this till you saw improvements in her reflux?
@Sultana i pretty much sow a change instantly. She stopped projectile vomiting straight away, to vomiting, to then spit ups. Turns out my little one has CMPA, which was diagnosed months later. Comfort has really helped. They say it takes a few weeks to settle if you change formula so be patient. Of course, if you see any adverse reaction, speak to your doctor.
@Yasmin thanks I really hope it gets better because can’t put her down at all. She has done 2 poos in the space of an hour yesterday and very runny. Did that happen with your LO?
@Sultana oh no, this didn’t happen to my LO, you may want to speak to your doctor. Doesn’t seem like it’s sitting well with your LO. You can also try probiotics, but again do speak with your doctor.
My son was on kendamil for 3 months and he also has silent reflux and was alwahs throwing up after it went down, i ignored everyone at first and then i finally accepted that it was definitely the formula so i had to change him to cow and gate and he is perfectly fine now infact he burps faster and the milk is lighter, i also changed the nipple to size 1. He is currently 4 months. Definitely try a different formula but only buy 1 first and see how it goes.
