I have some questions for those who have used it. My 5 week old dd2 has I guess it's more silent reflux. It comes to the top of her throat and she generally chokes or coughs on it. She only actually spews occasionally. Anyway the dr told me to try infant gaviscon before anything else. So we gave it to dd last night and omg, she settled like a dream, there was no grunting and squirming when I put her down and she then slept for 7hrs... 7hrs, she was sleeping that much in a 24hr period before let alone all at once. So maybe a coincidence but it seems like a miracle cure but we have reached some problems in regards with it.

How the hec do you administer it to a bf baby. Because I tried the sachet mixed with water and dd was having none of it. I ended up expressing all day to get enough to mix it up in a bottle and give it as a bottle feed. But I can't express all her feeds and it seems a little mean to make her suffer all day to just get one dose at night. So how did you administer it. Can I mix with some breast milk and feed in a bottle before a feed even though it says after a feed. Will that defeat the purpose of it.

The sodium levels in it concern me... It's a lot of sodium for little organs I feel.

I've heard it causes constipation. Is that true?

Should I be demanding the doctor put her Zantac or losec instead? What else can I do for her besides elevated bed and keeping upright after feeds which we already do.

A heap of people have told me I should be cutting out foods in my diet because that's what's causing it. But she has no mucous or blood in her stools which I thought indicated a dairy problem. I have my own food allergies and don't want to be cutting out extras in my diet unless I absolutely have to.
