Ds is 3.5 weeks and big, over 12 lb. He is suffering badly with reflux. Given gaviscon by Gp today, I was filled with misery as I thought I remembered how awful it was to give when ds1 had it.
Turns out it's far worse than I remember. Instructions advise to give two sachets, due to his size. Mixed with 30ml water in total. That's SIX calpol syringes full. Give midway through a feed.
So he screams, chokes, splutters, spits it out. What's the knack? I syringe it into his cheek. Stroke his cheek/jaw. No go. No way can I get him to take that much.
Help please.
