Jim isn't losing weight so apparently we can't get prescription medication for that reason. He's growing ok, he is in the 90th percentile for height and HC, but 50th for weight so you can see his ribs a little.
Jim is FF, and we use Infant's Friend, and I also have found probiotic helps him, at times he will spew less with probiotic, and/or he is less constipated.
My main thing with it was that I realised he was more than a "happy chucker" and I really haven't had any good advice from the GP or Child Health about it. It really has been an exercise in Googling. A couple of overseas websites specialise in products for reflux babies (wedges etc) and they have had really easy to read articles and information on them.
I haven't been able to use a carrier, Jim doesn't like them, and I had a caesarean.
However I have used his stroller inside at times, and we never/rarely used the full layback in it because of his chucking.
I have heaps of old towels for the floor, some days we don't wear too many clothes, or if we do we have a lot of cheap clothes. Buy heaps of washers, tea towels etc they are useful.
I was even using cloth nappies for a few months, I don't know how I kept up with the washing in my small machine, I just got a new washing machine last week with a larger capacity.
My Mum was always harping about routine, and she was trying to get him on solids, and I've just been acknowledging the advice I get from everyone but I have been doing my own thing and that is what has worked, somehow I just knew what was right for my son with his chucking, having a quieter environment, extra baths etc it has all worked well for us.
We do have a bedtime routine though which is good.
I am delaying him with solids, we gave it a bit of a go, and it's not helping his chucking, so I am going back to more bottles and just trying porridge around lunchtime.
