infant gaviscon

Yes we had it the other week. My girl is 8lb. It's prescription only.

@Jenna (Jen) how did she get on with it? My baby was 5lbs 5oz at birth, only now his just hit 8lbs.. just a bit weary of giving him these things x

My girl only just hit 8lb. It worked well. We started at 3 a day which was advised , but then we dropped to 2 a day as we didn't want her to get constipated. It definitely helped her x

Yes, my baby is on this since 2 weeks old due to surgery which causes severe reflux. You have to have it prescribed. For reference she is 10 weeks and only just hit 8lbs

@Sophie was your baby born preemie? My one had to stay in nicu, so he’s a bit behind on milestones x

@Jenna (Jen) how do you do it? I’m ebf but I sometimes express x

I made it up in a glass and spoon fed it in.or pop it in a bottle with expressed milk

She was born at 37 weeks but was FGR (so only 4lbs 6oz) and had major surgery at 14 hours old. She’s currently 10 weeks but tracking about 4 behind

We just make it up in a bottle for reference

@Sophie aww bless. Poor bubba, hope she’s doing much better now. my baby is 10 weeks old too, maybe they got same birthday? aha x

Did the doctor know your baby was premature? My friend got given it and then got a call from the doctor later saying not to give it as they didn’t realise at the time baby was premature! Be aware that most babies suffer with bad constipation on gaviscon - mine included. We switched to Nutramigen formula and it literally cured his reflux!

Maybe! Mines 28th July! Hope your little one is doing well as well xx
