Planning to move my reflux baby back onto normal formula soon, as inhaling we've grown out of it (now 16 weeks old, and we've come off ranitidine and domperidone over the last two weeks).
We've been using Aptimil anti-reflux formula, which is extremely thick and so has required me to modify the bottle teats in order for baby to drink it. DS has always been EXTEMEMELY hungry since birth at 9lbs 5oz, and I'm wondering if:
A) hungry baby milk is at all effective at what it's designed to do? We've got into having 5 feeds of 8/9oz per day and I'm hoping we can keep this up.
B) hungry baby milk is thicker than normal milk? I plan to buy new tears anyway, but would like not to have to mess around with them again! Am I right in thinking it's pretty much the same as the normal formula?
C) if we use hungry baby milk, can I use this in baby rice etc the same as normal milk? We're following pead advice and beginning with foods at 17 weeks.
Thanks in advance.
