Anyone out there have experience with a newborn with severe reflux/gerd? My 9 day old is having trouble keeping his formula down, everytime I feed him he throws it back up. I have decreased the amount of formula and feed him every hour and half to hopefully give his belly a chance to digest. Any bits of advice anyone has would be appreciated!
@kdcmommy26, thank you! Looked it up, looks like a good product
my baby is 3 months and has reflux.sitting up,burping,feeding him in intervals didnt work for us.plus,my son loves to snack..took him to the dr he prescribed first omprazole.it worked for the first 2 days and then he was back to throwing up his milk..i did research and read that sometimes it takes awhile. i asked his dr could cereal help,he said possibly.this was when he was 2 months.still havent given it to him..so i thought maybe if he had something thicker..looked for a thickener and came across Gelmix.its good for breast milk and formula and only 5 calories..i dont want a chunky baby,so im going to use this vs. the cereal..i havent purchased it yet,but going to.
@mommybump2016, I keep him sitting up for about a half hour after feedings. @aryanasmomma I am using dr brown that is supposed to be really good with controlling air and take breaks when feeding him
Ill message you on my brake at work my son had really bad reflux
I would give it atleast 2 hour intervals. and try to make sure the baby isn't getting too much air from the bottle and gently burp him after. or switch formulas.
Oh okay cause that was happening to me with my baby but it was before I started to warm up her bottle. Now it doesn't happen anymore @jaxonsmom123
