Uncomfy bottle feeding?

What have you guys done with this?

My little girl (7 weeks old) has suffered from silent reflux, or the symptoms of, since she was born although not of the medicine seems to be helping! I've tried lots of different things and she's currently on ranitidine. We've tried dr browns bottles (originally on tommee tippee) for the past couple of days but it almost seems like she's becoming worse and now, even tho hungry, she won't feed for more than a couple of seconds at a time. This is worse in the morning and evening.

What are your experiences and what do you recommend?

Considering mam bottles next to see if they help! TIA x

My DD had terrible reflux until she was 6 months. We spent a fortune on bottles and trying different formulas. In the end, we ended up using MAM bottles, SMA Anti reflux milk and Ranitidine and it worked like a charm. We also tried to keep her as upright as possible, especially after feeds and for at least 30 minutes.

I hope you find the right combination for your baby, it's an awful thing to go through.

Also speak to your HV and GP if things are really bad. Thanks

Hello!
Similar story here, definitely recommend Mam bottles. They self sterilise too which is handy.
My DD is nearly 15 weeks and I have been using cow & gate comfort milk but that has made her really gassy so I would not recommend it (that is just out experience tho). Yesterday I started DD on HiPP Organic upon recommendation - so far so good but very early days. Good luck xx
