Reflux formula's your opinions please

[ShootingStar]

We tried the Novelac Reflux formula as its designed to thicken once it hits their tummy but it constipated DD2 really bad. Am thinking about doing what the other ladies have done with the thickener as she was so much better those couple of days she was on the reflux formula.. my only issue is with teats and the thickened formula. What flow does everyone use??

I used a #3 when I had it on full thicken and I think a #2 for 1/2 strength (that was from DS being 4-6 weeks old at the time)

I am using fast flow #3 with the reflux formula she normally has the newborn i find the fast flow with the reflux formula is the same drinking time as the newborn teats with normal formula i am going to try mixing 3 scoops of the reflux formula with 2 of the normal formula as they are both NAN and see how she goes because her 1st poo this morning was a lot thicker than normal like play doe where hers are normally like peanut butter (sorry for the description) and i want to avoid constipation and both formulas are 100% whey so it should upset her tummy.

Thanks for the replies re the teats. DD2 is happy on the #1 teat so will give #2's a go with the half strength thickening and see how that goes and if not move to #3.
