Hi my 7wko baby has reflux. Been prescribed infant gaviscon to be taken after each feed. I have been bf till now. It's a total faff to prepare - like making formula after bf. Anyway baby at first took it and saw a huge improvement - was happy and even slept!! but now is refusing it
and is quite constipated (as a result of gaviscon). Only way I can see to administer it is to sneak it into feeds which would mean expressing 6 times a day - which for me is not feasible. I don't want to stop bf but unless I can get an alternative to gaviscon I'm not sure what else I can do. Does anyone have any ideas or similar experiences? Thanks
