Reflux

I feel im at a loss!😔my little girl is nearly 12 weeks old and is suffering with reflux but i feel its getting worse, she’s sick up to an hour to two hours after feeds, hiccups, coughing when feeding, can be very unsettled, sometimes she will cry for ages and refuse her feeds and end up not feeding for 6-8hours and now im concerned she isnt gaining as much weight as she should be. She has gaviscon but i feel it doesnt do anything ive changed formulas that hasnt helped and now i just feel like what else can i do😞😞 any advice i would really appreciate it

I’m in the same boat! I’ve started baby probiotics and they do seem to have helped a little. I try and stop for burps constantly during her feeds but she just screams and arches her back so it’s almost impossible! Hoping the doctor will prescribe carobel or something that thickens milk so it’ll sit in her tummy better, health visitor thought that might help. It’s very upsetting feeling you can’t do anything to help, and the constant sick can be very distressing to see x

What probiotics are you using? And i do the same with the burping but then she just screams because she wants the bottle back😩 im going to go back Monday and try again i was thinking about carobel too but i just want something thats going to help her as soon as. It definitely is very upsetting😩x

@Emily you can buy carobel, i was advised by my health visitor to get some for my little girl. I bought some from the pharmacy at my local Tesco, it cost around £5🙂

@Megan did you find the carobel helped?

BioGaia from Amazon, 5 drops in her bottle before bed x

@Emily I've only been using it for a couple of days so I haven't noticed much of a difference just yet but I was recommended by my health visitor and the GP at our 8 week check up x
