questions about giving infant gaviscon - anyone???

[Tutter]

says to be given after feed but to be made up immediately before administration

can i make it up before feed starts? feeds 20 mins or so atm. if i have to get up after a feed and faff around mixing it, he'll already have chucked up

also - pls tell me i don't have to bother sterilising spoon/syringe??

(administration??? is that right?)

I used to make up just before feed,else too late! And no - i didn't sterilise the spoon.

[numptysmummy]

Was it you who was asking whether up chucking was because of tpp much milk?

[Tutter]

no, not me

i did ask about fast let-down

just to check - you mixed it before a feed but gave it after?

[numptysmummy]

Can't remeber - all i know is i made it up in advance cos dh bollocked me for it. I think we tried before and after but it cleared up when he started being weaned. He's 3 now so memory not great! And didn't sterilise on grounds of older dcs putting grubby fingers in his mouth etc,just washed well and rinsed with boiling water.

i often made it up before a feed or sat and mixed it while feeding. dont think it matters if it sits around for half an hour. and i did sterilise the syringe. but she is my pfb
