    Thanks ladies, he has 10mg in the morning and again in the evening, it's possible that the distance between the feeds caused it so will see how he goes today and tonight and if it continues will take him back to the GP. I believe he is still putting on weight, but is due to be weighed this week so will tie that in with a GP visit also.

    I haven't eaten anything that is more acidic or had any changes in my diet apart from less food (ie no upsize lol)

    I'm not worried about the vomit just the smell and the fact that with that smell he was unsettled, been a pretty restless morning also :-( poor wee mite :-)

    DD2 is on the same dosage of Losec, morning and night and Gaviscon every feed to try and keep the milk in (it is a thickener), and still has acidic spews at 7 1/2 months old, but we have found the Gaviscon helps a lot at keeping it down, without it or the Losec we are left with an inconsolible bubba and I can only imagine how much worse it would be without them. We are waiting and watching now and will be doing a full review at 9 months as she hasn't put on weight in the last 5 weeks and not taking to solids yet without throwing up the solids and the milk and getting very distressed, and no signs of her growing out of it anytime soon.

    If you do go down the path of Gaviscon as well, you need to keep and eye out for constipation (as it thickens everything) as DD2 is suffering from that as well so we are having to give her Coloxyl as well to try and keep things moving. We use 1/2 a satchet of Infant Gaviscon, give it between sides, and we give the Losec at the start of the feed, we use a compunded suspension of Losec, or if we run out the tablets, the tablets may be more effective as it can be more fresh than the suspension.
