Diet advice to help breastfed baby with silent reflux

Hi there.

I currently have a very unsettled 10 week old son with silent reflux.

We have been prescribed infant gaviscon and have been using for over 4 weeks with not much effect, and in fact the last few days have been even worse.

I have read a lot about breastfeeding mothers changing their diet to eliminate acidic foods. I think this might be the reason why some days are worse than others so I'd like to give it a try.

Has anyone got any experience of this? I would love to know what foods you ate and which ones you avoided. Ideas for meals would also be helpful.

I am looking to cut down on dairy but not completely eliminate it as I'd be concerned about the lack of calcium.

Ah. Was just about to say if it was worth trying cutting anything out, it was worth trying cutting out dairy first...
