My LO is on ranitidine for reflux and it seems to be working well. I've just started introducing a bottle or two of formula for my LO - apart from the formula she gets breastmilk via a bottle. I pump all her BM, my period has returned and my supply has dipped a bit.

I've noticed that about an hour after a breastmilk feed she still gets really cranky and spits up a LOT, we have to work really hard to settle her. However, when I give her formula, she's absolutely fine - no whinging, no pain, totally happy baby.

Just wondering if this happens to anyone else?
 
Hi my LO has reflux too and is also combi fed entirely by bottle. I sometimes think she throws up BM more than formula but was never 100% sure as sometimes it all comes up! Really upsets me though when she does, why can't she throw up the formula instead! It could be that the formula is thicker than the breast milk maybe so stays down easier? Or maybe she's slightly intolerant to something you eat? Don't know much about that but might be worth looking into?
