Gagging
My little boy is 5 weeks old tomorrow he struggles with reflux and is on gaviscon but he’s constantly gagging for ages after a bottle which stops him from settling and sleeping, any advice on how to help him? Is this normal?

@Rachel he was gagging after feeds before the gaviscon but he was also throwing his milk back up constantly which doesn’t happen as much now thankfully, the only downside to gaviscon is its made him really constipated but I think im definitely going back to the doctor with it
We are on formula. My boy didn’t poo for 5 days and the advice I was given by Heath visitor was to try a few days on the ready made bottles instead of powder. They have a natural laxative effect. Not sure if that helps or not.
Do they eventually grow out of silent reflux? If so when?
@Rachel I’ll give that a go thank you I’ve been giving him laxatives advice from the pharmacy but it doesn’t really help him

My 5 week old suffers reflux but not gone to dr yet as was waiting for 6 week check. I’m expecting them to prescribe us gaviscon. Was he gagging after feeds before the gaviscon? Perhaps see if dr could prescribe something different?
