Hello ladies

I'm just wondering, those whose little ones unfortunately have reflux - do yours also only drink small amounts? Jack will have 2-3oz (4 at a push) he then is obviously hungry an hour later and will only have another 2 or 3 oz! its driving me crackers! hes usually breastfed but my supply is quickly drying up which is causing nursing strikes (i barely have time to eat or drink properly with 2 young children and im stressed all the time with jacks problems and colic which is having a huge impact ) im thinking about switching to formula because he only has little meals whilst breastfeeding too and his weigh gain is poor but I dont see the point if he wont have a full feed on formula either? Im worried Im going to have to wean him early because he hardly drinks anything! xx

I just asked you this question on the other thread! As I said there I don't know if what my lo is experiencing is reflux but he's probably averaging 3oz of formula but isn't demanding to be fed more often and at night he seems content to drink nearly 7oz. I have no idea what is going on....

Hia Em - my LO got reflux although not as bad as yours!! He taking 7oz in his bottles but throwing up quite a bit . . . however . . . he not sicked up as much since being on the hungry milk actually. You can also get comfort milk which might be better.

Sorry that you are having such a hard time of it . . .I know that giving up BF or weaning early isn't what you wanted to do. I hope that it gets sorted soon!! IT won't be like this forever - I reckon he will be much better when he is finally having solids.
