Hipp comfort milk - advice please

[Cherry85]

6 week old DS has been suffering with trapped wind since week 3. Infacol worked for a while and then stopped so we moved on to gripe water.

Last week he started getting reflux and was prescribed gaviscon but as soon as he drinks it you can hear the gas building up in his stomach and he farts away screaming in pain.

He is currently on hipp organic 1 but I was wondering if a switch to hipp comfort would be worth a shot?

Could the reflux be linked to the gripe water?

Does comfort milk help with reflux in addition to colic?

If he has not been constipated (prior to going on gaviscon) could this be a disaster in the poo department?

If it solves the gas situation but not the reflux can I put gaviscon in the comfort milk?

Gaviscon can cause constipation which is why my Dd couldn't have it for reflux. Shes on comfort milk as normal formula bunged her up too. I swapped to colic bottles and shes been great with that combination with c and g comfort. No puking and poops fine. Ask a pharmacist is probably a good shot, im not sure if you can as comfort milk is already pretty thick unless you try it and ditch the gaviscon for a bit see if that helps

I think this is the best one for reflux. X

@copperoliver have you tried that one? I guess it would be easier to use that and give infacol than use the colic one and give gaviscon?

What is the difference between the reflux and comfort/colic versions

Hi I'm a childminder and a girl I looked after had reflux and used to have this milk. They still carried on with the gaviscon for a bit too, until gp advised to stop. It helped a lot.

@copperoliver bought it straight after you said that and he slept all afternoon!! Fingers crossed!x

@Cherry85 Hi I'm so pleased for you and baby.. hopefully he is more comfortable now too. X
