Cow & Gate Hungry baby formula and Gaviscon

Hi,

Can anyone tell me whether it's ok to use cow & gate hungry baby formula alongside baby gaviscon?

I have contacted cow & gate today, and they have said they don't have any thickening agents in the formula.

What age is your baby?
Hungry milk is more casein based than whey based 1st milk and can be harder to digest. I dont think its actually thicker than 1st milk; it just has a different milk protein as its base. As it's not thicker it should be OK with gaviscon.

Just be aware that both hungry milk and gaviscon can cause constipation so that would be something to look out for

Thank you so much for your response.

My boy has no toilet issues and has been on hungry baby for about 3 months. But yes he did have a little constipation when previously using gaviscon
