Hello, my hv has suggested that it might be a good idea to start weaning my Lo soon (at 4 months) as he has reflux and is also a hungry baby.
I am bf'ing and he feeds every1.5 - 2 hours during the day and every 3-4 hours during the night. He is sick a lot but the reflux isn't affecting his weight really, its more that it causes him a lot of pain. He is on ranitadine but I struggle to get him to take it cuz its a really strong peppermint taste which he doesn't like.
Anyway, what I really wanted to ask was has anyone weaned early due to reflux and has it helped at all? Also, if you did, what food did u give (ie was it just baby rice?)?
Im just not sure whether to do it or not...
