any advice on reflux in baby

[meiko]

13 week old seems to have reflux. great difficulty getting him back to sleep without dummy but keeps dropping dummy out. any advice?

Have you seen your Doctor or Health Visitor?

My DS had reflux as a baby and was prescribed Infant Gaviscon which really helped. Maybe worth a trip to doctor for some advice and definite diagnosis.

Also with reflux it's suggested you raise their body angle when putting them down to sleep because lying flat can make it worse. I used to put a small pillow under the matress to raise DS up a bit. Sorry if I'm telling you things you already know.

thanks a lot for your tips!

feed in a bolt upright position and keep upright for 30 mins after feed (i normally put ds in his car seat) also raise cot as suggested already. ask GP for losec/omeprazole (2 names for one thing) or domperidone. also what milk are you using? i tried all the thickening stay down milks to no avail - what did help was switching to cow and gate organic formula.
