Just a quick update on what we are doing for Hudsons reflux. Dr's visit on Friday and he is actually gaining weight fine ATM so no worries there thank goodness. We are still going to trial a couple of things to see if they help as it is very messy as I'm sure you girls know, but if things don't work for us it won't matter too much, I will just have to keep up with the enormous amounts of washing lol. Tried infant gaviscon in his feeds over the last 3 days and it does work well at keeping the feeds down. A bit of chucking straight after the feed, but not much at all for the following 2 - 3 hrs inbetween feeds. Only problem with it is the price. We realised that it will cost us around $70/ fortnight to use and that is not including formula. I am starting to trial thickened formula today as this is a lot cheaper if it works so we will see how we go with that. We have bought S26 AR for reflux formula, purely for the fact that Hudson has been on S26 regular formula up until now and I have heard that you should avoid changing formula brands as it can upset their tummies? I'm not sure if all brands are the same, but the s26 says it must be made up with COLD water. I am taking this to mean fridge temp, does anyone know if that sounds right? Also I am assuming it is still ok to warm it before a feed? Any input would be appreciated.
