my 9 week old baby has refux she is on sma and doc has pwrscribed her gaviscon to put in her milk he didnt say how many times and on instructions it says no more than 6 times in 24 hours.... yesterday i gave it 4 times of the trot and on the next feed i left it out and she projectiled the whole bottle up with lump bits of milk i presume from prev gaviscon.... she is constipated and passing hard balls..... health visitor is no help docs to a point arnt helping.. ive decided to try her on sma comfort which i think maybe thicker. and gaviscon says not to use with other thickening agents so i guess ive not to give her it... im at my wits end if i dont give gaviscon she throws up if i do she is very constipated.. been told to give her coll boiled water between feeds to help this but prob is she sleeps threw from 1 feed to next so have just ad to wake her to give it her and now she wont settle as shes rooting for a feed... im dahmed if i do and dahmed if i dont im getting stressesd and its not helping her.. really dont know what to do for best... on comfort should i not give gaviscon and see how she goes? or can anyone suggest anything else..... im making an appointment to c doc on monday they only keep giving me 5 days worth of gaviscon at a time which is doing my head in too

Babies should be kept hydrated with cooled boiled water and more so if constipated. Milk powder sometimes can make them constipated so if that is the case with your little baby then definitely wake her to give water too as she really needs it. I hope things get better soon for her and you having to cope with it, it's not at all easy.

an update...... i gave her orange in cooled boiled water as health visitor suggested and it worked thank god,,, shes had wateryish poos for the last few days now... i am having a really hard time with feeding her tho. she is a lot better on comfort milk but she is becoing a nightmare to feed.. so bad that i dread having to feed her... last night was horrendous she drank 80ml but she just screamed and screamed when i tried to wind her he wanted the bottle but when i put it in her mouth she just screamed... took me an hour to get her to take anything more... its just getting stupid... i gave her infacol on this feed just now and she onlytook 80ml and fell asleep so i put her in her moses and she just threw up then she wanted more feed.... im really stressed about the whole thing.. she is only being sick maybe once a day on comfort so is a huge improvement but im wondering now with all the screaming if i need to change brand completely?????????
