Mixing formula - reflux
Hi,
We are struggling to get the formula right for our little one. We had issues on the normal cow and gate where she would be really uncomfortable and straightening her back and crying after. We were advised to try infant gaviscon-didn’t make a difference. Then advised to try reflux milk. Worked to begin with but then she got constipated. Advised to try lactulose which made her more uncomfortable and scream. Eventually her poos were okay, but she became super windy with trumps. She would scream with that. Rang the doctor and they have advised we try and mix standard formula with the anti reflux milk. I’ve read so many posts where people have said to not do this on various websites which is making me worry and I don’t know what to do for the best 😭 has anyone mixed normal formula with anti reflux? Both cow and gate.
Thanks in advance

You can get this from Amazon if you wanted to try it? Did have to up the teat size though so it can flow through
I use a 50/50 split of Aptamil 1 and Aptamil reflux and it’s worked a dream! Spoken to two different health visitors about it and they’ve both said it’s fine for my baby. The only problem I found was increasing it, when I moved him on to seven ounces, if I did the extra scoop of regular, he was refluxy, if I did the extra scoop as reflux formula he wouldn’t drink it. So I found I had to increase it from 6oz to 8oz so it was again a 50/50 split and just be on the conscious of him not drinking the whole bottle 🙈 but it’s really quite wasteful.

We use carobel on prescription which is a milk thickener mixed in with his normal milk and it’s been a game changer! No constipation either xx
