Reflux

Really hoping for some advice. I have a 7month old (on Thursday) she’s been terribly reflux since birth started with hiccups and bringing up milk. This then turned into all the symptoms fussiness, crying, vomiting 5+ times a day, bringing up milk, hiccups, coughing a lot, disturbed sleep etc. Was hoping after starting solids it would start to improve however around 5 1/2 months it upped terribly. Went to doctors and upped her omeprazole to full tablet dose this seemed to work for about a week and 1/2 then straight back to constantly vomiting, coughing, disturbed sleep. Back to doctors this time omeprazole and gaviscon again seemed to be working well week and half later back to vomiting a lot and coughing, hiccups and disturbed sleep. Doctor gave prescription for aptamil pepti 2 to try so collected today.

It seems very watery so unsure this will work well and stay down? And whether it won’t fill her up and she’ll be hungry she has 6 bottles a day.

Wondering obviously whether to try this milk with the gaviscon and omeprazole or just stick to normal formula and hope that by her birthday she’ll be somewhat cured?

She’s normally on cow and gate 1 as HV said they’re all the same/same ingredients/come out same factory but I’ve always wondered of trying kendamil or aptamil?

Obviously overall I don’t think she’s allergic to milk as no major skin issues or poo concerns. I had an intolerance when I was young cured mainly with goats milk but obviously she can’t have that yet.

Any advice welcome it’s horrible watching them suffer and feel like you’re failing! ❤️

She doesn't have to have skin issues though to have CMPA. Eczema is usually an Ige reaction and your DD sounds like she may have non-Ige CMPAA*?

Ahhh ok so maybe a good idea to try this milk and see how it goes. It seems very watery though so surely won’t stay down?

I had bad eczema as a child and was taken off cows milk and put on goats and it disappeared so that’s why I’m thinking she’s not that bad.

Try lactose free milk and other free from formulaes as the poor bub seems to have an intolerance

Yes I’ll give it a go it is aptamil pepti 2 so still contains milk just more broken down proteins.

Good luck if they still don’t seem to be happy on it make sure you move on to something else. I have reflux and it’s so horrible as well as damaging and often it’s a intolerance in my experience
