Need advice, Scarlett is on gaviscon for her silent reflux and she has two sachets in a four ounce bottle like the doctor has told me to do, she feeds every 2-3 hours, the gaviscon has to be mixed into a four ounce bottle so how do I go about upping her feeds?!? MIL is telling me how hungry she is and needs more milk 🙄 need some help in this one x
Yh I tried number 3 tommee tippie but no luck will give maam ago .... and the docs did prescribe me it thank you 😄😄😄@elliesedanniell
No its Aptomil anti-relux from birth there's no number on it, it's normally walkway thick but leaving for 7 mins gets it even more thicker to help the relux keeps it in the stomach, I use mam bottles with number 3 teats on as there fast flow its so much easier for bubba to get milk put off x @mrsripper
Are you using the aptamil one ?? I didn't read that 😯😯 mines thick straight away even had to get cheap bottle because it wouldn't fit through tommee tippie fast flow teats @elliesedanniell
No, I didn't ask for it they told me they have it and percribed it to me sorry they couldnt find it for you but hope it hopes it's brilliant isn't it, I ly nightmare is that you've gotta wait 7 mins after making the bottle for it to thicken up but other than that it's brilliant x @mrsripper
@elliesedanniell, did they have trouble finding it on the prescription list as I'm at the docs and it's not on their list ..... I have bought a tub and it's amazing !!! x
Yeah go to the doctors and mention that he keeps throwing up and you think it's reflux theyll percribe you it :) cause it's hard to get it shops round my way, @mrsripper x
The doctors prescribe the anti reflux milk powder?? @elliesedanniell, I think my son may have silent reflux and didn't even know about it till my friend mentioned it today x
@hannah2310, go to aptomil anti relux or cow and gate anti relux which ever brand your on, go to the doctors they will percribe it for you, it helped amelia with her relux :)
I think the thickener will be the next step for me, so far the gavsicon is working but she get settled and then by the time she's asleep she's hungry again, I'm just glad that she isnt constipated xxx
I know my lovely it's such a pain. It was the same with me, the Gaviscon fixed the reflux but caused major constipation. Drove me mad it did. See how she goes with it. My son is not on any meds anymore, like @jod1303 said tried them all and nothing worked. I had a look online and saw really good reviews about C&G baby thickner. Spoke to the doctor and I get it on prescription now. Best thing I ever did. Thickens the milk, so the consistency of it stops the acid burn and sick coming up. Xxx
my son was 3 hourly even after i upped his feed but the gaviscon and ranitidin didnt completely cure his reflux. only got better wen i introduced solids xx
How long your babies go between feeds ? @suzie31 @jod1303 xxx
I'm going to, I just feel like you get one thing sorted and then something else starts going wrong 😒 I'll try her on six ounce bottles just give her that little bit more, thanks Hun @suzie31 xxx
dr told me to just put 2 in his milk even wen upping it hun xx as @suzie31 has said xx
That's fab she hasn't become constipated on it hun. My boy when he was on it. Was on 6oz sometimes 7oz with two sachets and it still had the same effect with the reflux. Give it a go hun. Won't do any harm in trying and testing these things out xxx
I had the same problem. Couldn't figure it out. I just upped the milk anyway and still put the two sachets in. That's the only way I could even thing of doing it. Seemed impossible otherwise. Still had the same effect. How's she doing with her poo's. Are they okay? Xxx
Would it be better for me to breastfeed my baby or bottle feed her when she is born in September?

I am sick to death of my in laws telling me how fat Scarlett is, and asking me what I feed her! Does she look fat to you? No!
I can't take it anymore! Haley (yes my 1mth old and no I wasn't able to go through this "joy" of nursing my older daughter, Molly) has been screaming non stop for 6hrs! All she wants to do is eat and I can't have her attached to me all day, everyday! She has wanted to eat every hr on the hr for the past 3hrs! I put her in her room so I don't scream at her but I just can't take it!

Her helmet she got so she can be safe (as she told me) when she rides her bike and scooter lol
Yeah its a nightmare,!! It gets to the bottle like 3 oz left she can't get it out threw the tear it's to thick lol! So yeah definitely suggest maam and that's brilliant :D when your near finish phone them and ask to be percribed more they'll get it for you :) and no worries 😆😚 @mrsripper
