Hello
My LO is nine weeks old now. He was having bad reflux, so we took him to the docs yesterday and they prescribed Infant Gaviscon. He is over 16lb in weight so we were able to give him the higher dosage - two of the one dose sachets in 225ml of milk. We have given him a total of 6 of the small sachets (3 doses for his weight), we started this last night. We stopped giving it him after lunch today as he has been an nightmare, proper screaming and unhappy. Nothing will really soothe him. He doesn't have a temperature, he is feeding fine though....he just keeps screaming and it really isn't like him. He had a dirty nappy this morning, which didn't seem as much as normal, and was a bit greeny and more solid (TMI) so now I am worried, do you think he may be constitpated or have tummy ache? How would you know if your LO had tummy ache???
Any advice from anyone who has used it?
Thanks
