Refulx/colic

[TraceyJ]

hi, my 8 weeks old baby has both reflux and colic. he is now on aptimil milk + gaviscon, which has helped the refux but not the colic. does anyone know if i can give him colic drops in addition to the gaviscon?
(we have also tried cranial osteopath and he seems worse than ever!)
thanks....

Hi Tracy,
Our daughter (now 6 months) also had colic and reflux and we pretty much tried everything including colief and infacol (we were prescribed rinitadin and domperidon for the reflux). I hate to say it but nothing really worked and she just eventually grew out of it at 12 weeks. We just spent hours keeping her upright and burping her frequently (Dr. Brown bottles really worked for us)Its not much help I know but just hang in there and you will come out the other side!

Hi TracyJ. My 1st and 2nd babies had reflux and were given Gaviscon as a result. It worked a treat but both of them were on it til about 9months old. I gave both of them colic drops as well as Gaviscon.
Infacol is okay to give with Gaviscon (so my HV told me!) Hope this is of some help
