I’ve just got some Gaviscon infant from the chemist on advice from a lactation consultant who thinks DDs Posterior tongue tie could be causing silent reflux.
I’ve prepared it as stated on the box which gives me 15ml of suspension to give her. That’s a lot to syringe into a 3month old baby’s mouth! Especially if it tastes as bad as it smells.
It also said to give during every feed - in the evenings I pretty much feed her every hour so do I really need to go be her 15ml of Gaviscon at each feed?? And do I have to break her off of a feed so that I can give her it half way?? And every night feed too?
I’ve just given her first dose - I gave her it after finishing off one breast and before starting the other (she doesn’t always take the other though). It took 15 mins and she was gagging and retching the whole time, most of it came back out her mouth. The thought of having to do that every feed isn’t filling me with joy.
Does this really work with other bf babies??
