Anti reflux milk advice (warning nappy picture attached)

[Shadow112]

Hello,

Our baby is 3 weeks old and often spits up during feeds, sometimes 1-2 hours after a feed. We do keep him upright for 30 minutes plus and do paced feeding. The health visitor suggested going onto anti reflux formula to help with it staying down. He has been on it for 12 hours and it has helped with the spit up, he still spits up small amount but it's very thick. After his fourth bottle he produced this dirty nappy which is something we have never seen.

Is this normal? Also I feel the preparation of this formula is difficult as you can't pre make and I'm following guidelines but still getting cheese like lumps at the bottom and I'm not sure he is getting enough as a good chunk is frothy then the bottom is so thick he misses that too.

How do you know if it's just mild reflux or more serious? He was gaining weight on his normal formula.

Hi OP,

We've moved your thread to this board as we think you might get some helpful responses here.

We hopes this helps!

Hi,
This looks like lactose overload to me!
I had such an overactive let down and oversupply of milk baby would fill up on the thinner high in lactose milk and struggle to get to the fatty milk. Over time foamy explosive green poos, vomitting due to so much fizzled so quickly and all the signs of reflux. Or there's a possible slight allergy?

My baby was vomitting after every feed, showing reflux symptoms no matter what I tried, quite considerable weight gain, my breast I was not feeding on would leak A LOT during a feed.

Have a read into lactose overload possibly could be that xx

Sorry just realised formula feeding! My comment is probably irrelevant sorry!! Xx
