Hiya
Looking for guidance please.
My lo is nearly 12 weeks. Was diagnosed with reflux last week. I am EBF.
He has to take 2.5ml of losec every morning. Then i have to syringe feed him gaviscon three times a day made up with nutramigen formula.
Paed told me to come off all dairy and to syringe him with the gaviscon so he will get used to the taste of the nutramigen. As when I stop bf he will have to go in it.
We have been trying a bottle of EBM every dAy since he was 2 weeks old.
He really does prefer the boob. Only sleeps 45 mind during the day unless he is upright in the car seat. Feeds every 1.5 2 hours at night. During the day prob the same frequency. Is definitely thriving despite the reflux and dairy intolerance.
I wonder should I just solely express so he had to take bottles and eventually start adding a bit of nutramigen into his bottle when he is good at accepting bottles.
I know he is so small but we have no routine. I wonder if I knew how much EBM he took I would knw he is only comfort eating.
I bf my daughter, this time I feel like a FTM as he has been so unsettled it's hard to read him.
So should I just express so he gets used to bottles as at them omen the will take max one to two ounces and I end up having to put him in the boob.
Dh tries feeding him, ipump before hand so I am empty. Or should i just go cold turkey and put him fully on the nutramigen.
HELP!!!!
