Cow & Gate Comfort - help reflux?

6 replies

LouiseJayne23 · 04/10/2021 05:12

My LO is currently on the Hipp organic ready made cartons as the milk is slightly thicker than the powder formula which she was awful on, but we're having increasing reflux episodes (and it's a very expensive way of feeding!!)
Was thinking of trying Cow & Gate comfort as read it's thicker than normal formula (and she also suffers with wind). I had DS1 on anti-reflux formula and it was a nightmare with causing constipation, and DD is not as bad as he was.
Has anyone had any success with C&G comfort helping reflux (or at least not worsening it) and could tell me if it's possible to prep it in advance? (Call me lazy, but even my HV says it's ridiculous not being able to store them at the back of the fridge like you used to!) I'd just like to be able to make it
/ take it out and about but heard it separates in the fridge!

If you're having problems with so many milks, have you considered the possibility of CMPA @LouiseJayne23?

@PanicBuyingSprouts It crossed my mind but I think the problems would be more extreme - i'd say the wind was working 'normal' for a baby and the reflux is manageable. She's not really got any of the other symptoms. DS was far worse and he didn't have CMPA so I'm using him as a baseline 🤣

*within 'normal' that should read, not 'working' !!

Yea, comfort milk separates in the fridge. I also found it didn’t help my DD’s reflux Sad

You could try carobel instead?

YES! I had probably the sickiest baby ever in existence, constant projectile vomiting after many feeds every day, 50+ spit ups a day, comfort completely stopped it. Started at 11 weeks and the vomiting just stopped, tried to switch back to stage 1 milk at 8 months thinking surely she would have grown out of it but nope the vomiting started again immediately. Still on comfort milk now at 11 months.

Can’t you just shake it to mix it again after taking it out of the fridge? I use carobel and that separates too when you premake the bottles, but a quick shake/roll before warming and it’s fine again.
