Our 4 month old dd has got reflux (we think).... not the terrible all day screaming and vomiting, but pretty horrid for her anyway. She is so difficult to feed (we are bottle feeding her, having just finished feeding her a mixture of formula and expressed breast milk by bottle), with her refusing to feed when she is clearly hungry, bringing up acid, inconsolable when the pain hits her tummy/oesophagus, etc. We think it was triggered by a change in formula while we were on holiday, but we are back on the original one which she has always been fine with (Aptimil), and today we went to the GP who prescribed us some baby gaviscon which we have, as per instructions, been giving her in her bottle. We have finally settled her for the evening now after a lot of screaming and pain which kicked in about 45 mins after her feed and gaviscon.... can we give her more gaviscon between feeds? Does anyone have any advice as to how best to deal with this? IT breaks my heart to see/hear her so upset when she is generally such a sweet and happy baby most of the time. I really hope most of it clears up now that we are back to the Aptimil, but who knows.....
ALL advice most most gratefully received, thanks so much in advance and sorry this is so long and rambling!
