Anti-Reflux milk?

[ClairAye]

Anyone used it? Particularly Cow & Gate?

Was your LO hungrier on it? I've put Jason up to 6oz on it but he's still hungry after so I'll top him off with 2-3oz, last night he took 6oz then a top up of 3oz, he's also eating more frequently too

Sometimes reflux babies will keep sucking at bottles in order to feel some relief. Imagine when you have heartburn - drinking milk helps at the time doesnt it?

Is he still being sick?

Been sick about 2 times properly since I started him on it about 3 weeks ago
Compared to after every feed..

I found that the anti-reflux milk didn't sit well with Lucia. I don't know exactly why but she seemed worse after a bottle of it. We also tried Gaviscon powder in her regular Cow and Gate milk but that didn't help either. In the end we found the best thing for her reflux was Carobel (thickener) in her bottles but just normal C&G milk x

It's great for his reflux, Gaviscon was crap He just seems hungrier? Don't know if it's coincidence though

If he's not being sick then I guess he's not overfull so I wouldn't worry too much.

Great news you've found something that works though. We never found the cure :/

Lucia still has good days and bad days. She still gets the Carobel in her bottles and Gaviscon from time to time. If he isn't vomiting then that's a good sign I found that Lucia seemed hungrier once she was getting the thickener x

I used an Anti-Reflux formula with Christian it was a different brand as i live in Australia but i found he wanted more in his bottle then some other kids his age from the start i would not worry about the amount he is drinking unless he is bringing it back up as it can be a sign of being to full the amount that is on the tin is just a guide

Don't know if its related but Ollies been eating alot more since friday, so maybe a growth spurt?

Oh yeah I don't go by the guides he's always been a hungrier baby, so I'm going to put him up to 7oz and see how he does with that when he starts eating properly again.

& I don't think it is Kirsteen, he's just had stopped his 6 week one a week ago at 8 weeks and he's not acting how he does when he grows I think it is just the milk as it's ever since we put him on it
