6 week old baby on infant gaviscon - is it still ok to use infacol or gripe water

[monthlymayhem]

My 6wo has been having gaviscon for the last few days to help with projectile vomiting, and it does seem to be working. However he still has terrible wind and despite loads of attempts at burping him etc he is still in a lot of discomfort after most feeds. Can anyone tell me if it's ok to use infacol and gripe water while also taking gaviscon? Thanks for any advice

Hi, I was told that infacol was find to use with gaviscon. My daughter took it at 8 weeks old and was ok.

Not sure re gripe water, would have thought so but better to make sure

Just a word of warning, gaviscon can block them up! I gave boiled cooled water too to help her with it.

I used gaviscon with infacol. We gave infacol before each bottle and put gaviscon in each bottle of formula. Both were prescribed by our doctor and given to us by pharmacists who never said we couldn't use both together.
