Breast feeding and reflux

In desperate need of some help. My little one is EBF however she has super bad reflux. She is still gaining weight so no one seems inclined to help. But after every feed she is projectile vomiting. I have tried keeping a food diary and cutting out foods which make her fussy. I have tried infacol to help with trapped wind. I have tried giving shorter feeds and burping in between but nothing seems to be working. This evening we have gone through 4 baby grows and 2 sleep sacs. I am at a complete loss and on the verge of a breakdown. I just don’t know what to do anymore. Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

Following as I have similar

Our little boy was the same and we used Dentinox colic drops which helped but didn't fully resolve the issue. We used to have to sit him up for half an hour or so after every feed and we also fed him slightly sat up (easier as he was bottle fed). We were the same in that because he was gaining weight, nobody was bothered x

a bit of vomiting after every feed is normal but projectile vomiting is not. if you are already keeping her upright for half an hour after each feed and it is still happening seek help from gp. as a first step gp may recommend baby gaviscon or thickener. if these wont work then you’ll get a referral for further checks projectile vomiting sometimes related to narrowing of the stomach outlet which requires referral to consultant to confirm

Maybe try a probiotic drop to help her tummy x

I’ve been to the doctors for exactly the same reason and have been given omeprazole which has helped a lot, my baby is 3 1/3 weeks old and was having breast milk from a bottle for reference. He would just cry and cry, he was wriggling around like a worm, gagging, chewing his tongue.. it was awful. Still slightly uncomfortable but not half as much! Tried baby gaviscon before but completely constipated him x

Your baby may need gaviscon or omeprazole. Infacol can make reflux worse because of orange flavour. My baby has reflux and she’s taking omeprazole which has helped a lot.
