Reflux

hey, it's rough. My Dd had reflux. She grew out of it about 20 weeks.

We had gaviscon from the gp which seemed to help

i would add that i could not put down DD at all. Any lying flat would result in screaming.

angle your crib if you can, it helped.

Also Dd would go into a swing seat for 15/20 mins so would recommend that too

it can but my DD never had any issues. we used it every second feed roughly.

You can speak the GP/HV about reducing the dose too. I was told that sometimes they are prescribed the max for their weight, but actually a much smaller amount will counter most of the reflux issue and reduce the risk of the stomach problems

My DS has reflux, we had a lot of weight issues from it due to not keeping down milk. For us the gaviscon didn't work and was a battle to get him to take it, so the stress just made the reflux worse. Our HV recommended carobel powder and it worked a treat in bottles! You can get it at the chemist, if they don't have it they should be able to order it in for you. Or if you've got a really good GP they may even do it on prescription. DS has just turned 1 and still has the occasional bad reflux day. The transition to solid foods did help a lot!
