We think DD2 has reflux and GP has agreed we try gaviscon.
Only, it's really hard to get her to take it.
GP said make it with water and give with a syringe but its 15ml and is quite a lot as DD is choking and gasping like she is drowning. She won't take it in a bottle.
Last night we tried mixing it with just 5ml of water (the first stage of the mixing instructions) and that went in ok with a syringe but then I think it made everything in her tummy too thick as she really struggled to poo and it was a bit toothpastey instead of watery breastfed poo.
Does anyone have any experience with gaviscon and breastfeeding?
