cow and gate & aptimil anti reflux!

[emz0909]

hi all, i was in boots earlier and noticed they are stocking cow& gate/aptamil anti reflux formula.
has anyone used this yet?
thought i would share this to mums out there with babies suffering reflux like mine!
:)

cheaper to get baby gaviscon on prescription - and doesn't compromise breastfeeding

gaviscon constipated him and made him worse. he is on ranitidine & comfort milk which has made a slight difference.
i was just purely wondering if anyone had used this milk yet seen as most moms use comfort milk to help reflux

We have and with great success. More milk stays down with aptamil anti reflux than apatamil 1 and gaviscon. You cant give them gaviscon with the milk. Lots more poo but if ds is happier then we will go with that option!!

We use aptamil comfort - made a big difference to DS. We've been advised it is fine to use with gaviscon so he's on that too plus ranitidine and domperidone - poor little guy

Did try taking him off the milk and gaviscon but sickness went right back up again so I guess we will periodically try reducing the meds

do you find comfort milk and gaviscon made him constipated or? cuz he seems constipated atm just on comfort milk :/ ahhh x

I used SMA stay down as didn't realise anyone else did something like that - my doctor put it on prescription for them as the gaviscon didn't work with the last 2.

Oh wow, SMA staydown on prescription! We should have asked for that. We used it and it was a life-saver - highly recommend.

I used this with my ds and after 5 days he developed really hard stools containing blood. This is even after daily 5oz water feeds and one dose of lactulose. He passed stools prior to that but they were not like what we saw on 5th day. Seeing him in so much pain we stopped it straight away. Not back to lots of vomoting on normal aptamil formula. Planning to try carobel to thicken formula.
