any advice on EMPHAMEL (AR)

[NannyJo]

My 9 week old is suffering from terrible reflux. I have been advised to try emphamel(not sure this is spelt correctly) does any one know is this as nutritiously balanced as other formulas and does he go on it until a year old or just as long as we think he still suffers from reflux then change back to original formula(is chopping and changing wise or will it un settle his digestive system??)

It's enfamil, nanny....it has to meet nutritional minimums set down by the UK dept of health or else it cannot be sold as infant formula, so it should be as 'balanced' as other formulas. I expect you are being advised to use Enfamil AR - anti-reflux - yes? You need to ask a dietitian about whether he should stay on this or if he will be ok on regular formula in time....individual cases differ.

Hope this helps.
