Coughing

My 6 week old has been coughing while feeding for the last couple of weeks. He has gotten quite fussy recently too. He also gets the hiccups frequently after feeding. Could this be a sign of reflux? I did go up a teat size in the mam bottle from a size 0 to a 1 so i wonder if it’s too quick for him also.

Sounds like the flow could be too fast. My baby has reflux but coughing was never a sign!

@Ghazaleh thank you! He’s been prescribed gaviscon. Was your baby ever prescribed anything and how were they on it?

@Sarah yes we used it for a little while but didn’t see a difference! Also it was giving her constipation! Just learned to live with it lol She is 4.5 months now and it’s much better!

@Ghazaleh yeah I’m apprehensive to use it because of the constipation. I might try it for a couple of days and see and if not just live with it until he little older and hopefully starts growing out of it x

@Sarah we got gripe water for her. Doesn’t help with the reflux but helps with the hiccups and general stomach issues! Also helps with constipation! And hold him upright as long as you can after each feed! Good luck :)

@Ghazaleh I’ve heard good things about gripe water, I’ve not been using it all too much at the moment though. So maybe I’ll give that a go too. Thanks again

@Sarah there are a couple of brands out there that do all natural gripe water! The ones at the pharmacy usually have alcohol and sugar in them! With the natural ones I feel better giving it to her couple of times a day if I need to!
