Hi, I have a 15 week old daughter and from birth she has suffered from dreadful acid. At 6 weeks old I found out about silent reflux, so I took her to the doctors and she was prescribed Infant Gaviscon. This did improve her symptoms, she was much happier. But she still brings up a small amount of milk when she burps and it smells SO acidic.
I have booked an appointment with my GP today and am going to ask if she should be put on Ranitidine.
With regards to formulas....
She started off on Cow and Gate, she's been on Aptamil now for 7/8 weeks, and yesterday I tried some Sma Gold. There doesn't seem to be all that much difference in how much acid she brings up.
I do get the impression she doesn't enjoy her feeds, she's fusses and squirms quite a bit, especially for the last half of her bottle.
Can anyone offer any advice?
