Is this reflux?

[MaggieW]

My 11 week DD brings up a fair bit of her feeds during the whole period after one feed and before the next. She doesn't seem to be in any discomfort and seems quite happy, is putting on weight etc so should I be concerned? It does mean we're going through loads of clothes, bibs and muslins but if it's not a concern then I can put up with that.

my dd also was the same she was puking up a fair amount between feeds,i was going through about 16 bibs and 2 to 3 sets of clothes a day.i was at my wits end as she too was puting on weight and didnt seem upset by it all,after trying infant gaviscon which you can buy in any big chemist i.e boots/safeway which improved it a bit the doc eventually tried her on soya milk at about 5 months and her symptoms completely stopped,she is now 9 mths and rarely even wears a bib now.

My DS was the same from about two weeks old and seemed to be bringing up nearly all of his feed although he still put on about a 1lb a week. The Doctor said it was reflux and prescribed infant Gaviscon. This did help a bit but only by making what he brought up a bit thicker, so I suppose he managed to keep more down. It did really get me down at the time but he magically stopped being sick at around 5 months when he started sitting up unaided.
