Happy Refluxer

Anyone else’s baby a happy spitter? Has gaviscon or something similar helped? She’s 5 months now and still suffers with reflux. She’s struggled to gain enough weight, though seems to be on the right track now 🥺 we’re not too far off from weaning and that’s meant to help. But changing outfits 6 times a day is really getting me down.

No advice, but same she stopped for a few weeks but now we're a happier spitter than ever😭

My little boy ( 4 and half months) suffered from reflux really bad. Gaviscon was no good for us it made him really constipated. We’re now using carobel it thickens the milk and omg his like a new baby but I was the same changing outfits constantly and trying to keep up with the washing😭🤣xx

Yeh we’re the same , doesn’t bother my boy at all but it’s draining for me. Goes through about a bib every half an hour and outfits all the time. It’s getting more projectile now too so it gets on me more often. Yesterday I had to wash 3 big jumpers of mine after he puked on one after the other after the other

Same here! He’s 6 months, so much sick, all the time, but not in pain with it 🤷🏼‍♀️ we even spent a week in hospital to check there wasn’t anything else going on! I started weaning at 5 months after recommendation from the dietician, unfortunately it doesn’t seem to have made much difference

Been through 16 bibs and 12 outfits today too 😞 doesn’t matter how many muslins I put over him!

lots of reflux and outfit changes here too. gaviscon didn’t help. hoping weaning does🤞🤞

@Elle getting it on a new, clean jumper is probably the worst part 🙈

@Meryl oh wow, what did they think it could have been to keep you in that long? X

@lu at least we’re in it together 🙈

@Livv can you share what you use? Do you put it in breastmilk or formula? I’ve seen that aptamil do one with the caro gum (assuming it’s the same) and I’m tempted to try it.

My little boy is the exact same and has always been! Tried reflux formula, which was too thick. Gaviscon may have helped slightly but wasn’t worth the constipation in my opinion. I recently went back to 5oz every 3 hours instead of 6oz, and this has seemed to help! Overfeeding definitely makes it worse for him. Starting to wean him now and the baby rice definitely doesn’t come up as much. X
