Help! Baby reflux causing baby not too eat

2 replies

harsharan · 08/04/2021 19:10

My 10 weeks baby is getting reflux and I am using anti reflux formula too, she's only formula fed but sudden reflux has dropped her feed to 600 from 950 ml

Doctors keeps on prescribing gaviscon but it only helps for sometime and then reflux comes back

I use mam bottles I have dr browns too but earlier baby didn't like them

Can some tell me anything that helped their baby?

Oh I feel so much for you. Have you tried all the tricks like feeding little but often, tipping the sleep area slightly, holding baby upright after feeds and burping until something comes up (gas, not vomit!)? If you have and the feeds are dropping go to the GP and say you're not happy and proper medication needs to be tried. I had the same issue and kicked up a fuss and my DD was prescribed proper medication (I forget the name) which helped. They don't like to prescribe medication because they're so young but absolutely do insist if you're worried and don't let them fob you off.

Also, infant gaviscon can cause horrific constipation - have you ruled that out?
