Hi there!
My baby girl has recently turned 3 months and we've been having issues with silent reflux so started using carobel to thicken my expressed breast milk after gaviscon gave her constipation.
We've been using the carobel for about 1 month and have seen a great improvement in the reflux issues, however she only seems to be taking her milk 1oz or 2 at a time now every 20 mins or so all the way up until it's time to go nap again.
She used to drink like a fish and polish off 4oz in one go but now she takes only a bit after showing hunger cues and then wants to do something else .
The bulk of her milk she'll only want just as she's getting tired, even after she's slept for 6 hours at night it makes no difference at all.
We're pretty wiped out having to constantly watch out for the first sign of a cue just to get another 1oz in her.
I was wondering if this is related to carobel as it has calories in, and thought maybe she is feeling full quicker?
I'm hoping anyone can give some insight, we're using the X teat with MAM bottles, we've tried different teats, different milk temperatures, freshly pumped milk instead of older milk, different positions and feeding in a bouncer chair the result is always the same.
