Reflux in babies

So, which baby milk product could fit to those babies?

My daughter who is 3 months has reflux and i found that Aptamil Comfort works for her. She seems to keep the milk down more.

we already tried this, but it wasn't helpful. My baby was angry, he didn't like comfort milk.

i tried all milks and non suited my baby always brought the whole feed up afyter every bottle, So much so he kept losing weight and we ended up in hospital where they discovered he had cows milk allergy so they tried Aptamil Pepti Formula Milk and it worked first time straight away. The other fortunate thing was is that it is on prescription too so free!!! Hope this helps guys.

My baby has just turned 4 months and even when on breastmilk, he was still really sick. Always hungry as a result though so weight ok. Since swapping to formula, we went to the Comfort milk with no change in sickness. The GP just prescribed Gaviscon infant powders to add to the milk. This has reduced the reflux a little, but still not happy with this as a solution. I'm sure my baby can tell the difference and he starts to 'give up' half way through the feed, almost like he is frustrated! There must be something else we can do!

my baby was born 13 weeks early and was in hospital for 11 weeks, his reflux was so bad that his heart rate and saturation levels dropped during every feed ! He was breastfed in hospital but i put him on comfort milk when i brought him home, he also takes 3 lots of drugs for reflux. My doctor prescribed a dairy free milk which he hated and it didn't help at all, so he's back on comfort milk and although he still refluxes it's not as bad. I have found feeding him every three hours during the day helps aswell !

My grandson who is now 3 months old suffered badly from silent reflux. He was prescribed various medicines by his GP but he continue to be very distressed during feeding. He also fed every two hours - day and night, which was exhausting for my daughter. With all the medicines failing we researched alternatives, and found that slippery elm and liquorice were or had been used for stomach/digestive problems. We bought slippery elm powder and liquorice tincture (online from Baldwins Uk). We made a mixture of _ tsp of slippery elm and 5 drops of liquorice to 100ml of water. At the beginning of each feed he was given 5 mls. We made a new mixture each day, increasing (or diluting) the dose as he increased weight. All his prescribed medicine was stopped when we started this alternative treatment. He became better immediately, although he has continued feeding on average every 3 hours. He is gaining weight and is much more content. The mixture doesn't just treat the symptoms, it also heals the sore oesophagus and stomach too. We are keeping him on this medication for now (he's been on it for 6 weeks), but will probably wean him off after he reaches 6 months. We have not seen any side effects to this, and have suggested it to other mums whose baby has reflux silent or otherwise. He was breast fed throughout all of this, although he now has breast and formula.

My daughter is 5weeks old and has reflux midwives not that helpful so I changed her milk to aptamil comfort she is a lot Better although occasionally will have reflux.

my son is 8 mths old and still very hard to feed. GP give him gaviscon for infant which did help. I was told he would get better when he walk s. like my first son. it is hard work

my daughter is thriving and putting on weight but for about two days now she is possiting an she seems to feed every two hours she is being breast fed and she is quite restless

my son has refluxs. I found that giving him infacol and burp him half way through the feed helps. I have also put books under the legs of the head end of his cot to elevate his head when he is sleeping. I let him sit in the biunser for a while after feed to keepi him up. it is very scary when he is so sick it is coming out his nose and he is screaming. he is much better after these trics, using lectose free or redused formula helps as well.

My daughter is 9 weeks old now. She was three weeks early and measuring small for dates. We didn't notice any reflux straight away but after a couple of weeks she started to bring quite a lot of her milk up. She's breastfed with expressed milk top-ups after each feed and reflux started only after the bottle but then got worse and she has reflux also after breast. Our GP prescribed a thickening agent called Carobel for her, which we add into the bottle of EBM and this has made it a bit better and she's gaining more weight.We also noticed that sitting her up in her bouncer with a dummy in her mouth (to keep the sucking going) after the feed have helped.

can you just change milk or is there a way to do it ?

I think my little boy may have reflux but I have been to the doctors 4 times already and they are taking no notice! He is 9 weeks old today, and has constantly had the silent "gags" since birth, but last night this changed into a full on choking fit. He is still full of mucus in his nose since birth and has a really weak and chesty sounding cough. He hasnt been a sickie baby though and has been gaining weight really well. Last night scared me so much but I am worried about going back to the doctors again as I dont want to be one of those mums, but would like to know he is ok?

I have been to hospital with this. They have prescibed 2 medicines three times a day. A lot better now.
