Could really do with some advice, I had my son 7 weeks ago and started him out on cow and gate and then changed to kendamil when we was around a month old as he was suffering terribly with colic and was recommended kendamil. He loved it to begin with however he started showing signs of silent reflux, I took him to the doctor as my health visitor suggested and he basically did nothing and sent us home with no answers. I continued on the kendamil for about a week when I had a conversation with my health visitor about perhaps changing his milk again so we went back on to cow and gate specifically the reflux range and he was so much better he had runny poos but was told that would be because of switching his milk again. That was a week ago and now my son is the opposite, he’s constipated so rang my health visitor again and she said to trail cow and gates comfort range see if maybe that’s better due to the reflux range being too thick. It’s day two of being on cow and gate comfort and all the symptoms of the reflux have returned and I’ve now got a screaming baby so just can’t settle. At the start of all this it was brought up that my boy could have a lactose intolerance. I don’t see my health visitor for another week so just wanted to see if anyone has experience anything similar

How's your little one now?
I have a 5 week old with a bad case of diagnosed reflux. The best thing for her has been Omeprazole, it didn't stop the vomiting and spitting up but it stopped her from being in pain from it! She's much more settled now... and we tried pretty much everything else (Gaviscon, Nutramigen, Anti reflux formula).

Hipp Organic Anti Reflux really helped with her reflux but gave her bad diarrhoea... So we stayed on Hipp Organic and just hoping she will grow out of the vomiting etc. As long as she's less in pain that's all what matters 🙏🏼
