I tried various things for my little boy, including 3 different brand anti reflux milks, cow and gate, then SMA then aptamil. It wasn’t until we tried Aptamil that we saw a huge difference and he was on it until 10 months when we weaned him onto regular Aptamil. Before Aptamil anti reflux we had tried carobel with regular milks, gaviscon, even prescription formula to check for an allergy! I’d even taken him to see an osteopath! Have you tried a different brand just to see if that helps? X
@Linda our little man is nearly 6 weeks old! He has been a tiny bit better throughout the day, just hoping it stops for him! I hope your little one settles!
@Beth we've only been on the SMA for a week so we don't want to change it just yet but we will definitely keep it in mind! We've got another doctor's appointment next week to see how he's getting on! He's still much more chilled which is the main thing!
Reflux is usually due to an underlying issue, Has your little one had an oral assessment to assess for tongue tie or high palette? Unfortunately most midwives HV and drs aren’t actually qualified in assessing for this so I’d recommend going private if you can. An osteopath could be an option to to assess for any tension. My Lb had tongue tie & a high palette we had this cut and had oral exercises to do and his reflux improved so much x
No suggestions really but I’m in the same boat! 😩 I have a 4 week old with reflux on Omeprazole but I think it’s making her worse.. she had a few good days without any medicine after getting constipation from what I think was Omeprazole and then a bad day yesterday so I gave her Omeprazole again to see if it helped or test if it made her worse again and she has been terrible since.. I’m thinking of starting her on a probiotic next instead. It’s so hard!
