hi ya,

Need your help.... Aimee is still on SMA Gold and Gaviscon for her reflux and it was helping but she's got really bad this week, I thought she was on the way to growing out of it but it doesnt seem to be any better. :roll:
Someone told me to use cow and gate Omena (or something like that?) & said it is brill for reflux
Do you know if its ok to switch milks? maybe i should try the sma staydown as its still the same brand that she's on....
Any advice on what one I should get or stick to what im on would be great help

I have thought about phoning the HV but they are pretty useless as you know!

Hey hun - HV's are pretty pants as they go. :lol:
Damien is on Omneo Comfort (by C&G) and it has made no end of improvement. He is a much more settled baby and is sick less.

Switching milks is pretty safe to do. Aimee may have a bit of a funny tummy or different/runny poo for a day or two but Damien has always been okie when I changed milks. He has been on expressed breast milk, Aptimil, SMA Gold, Soya, Farleys and now Omneo in the search for a milk that helps! Omneo Comfort makes their poo smell like rotten egg's so I appologise in advance but it's normal!!

In my experience I found Gaviscon did nothing for Damien. It made it thicker to the point where I had to go to medium flow teats (or level 2 in Dr Brown bottles which is what we use) but it didn't seem to make the milk any thicker if you squirted it out. With Omneo Comfort we use level 3 teats (for Dr Brown bottles, or fast flow for normal bottles).

Hope this helps but if you need anymore answers I am happy to help. Although you should let HV know what you are doing so they can record it. I can only advise coz I'm not trained :D (although sometimes I swear I'm smarter than some health proffessionals :wink: )

Thanks Sami, thats a great help. I'm going to pop out to sainsburys and get some tonight - shame its over £1 more !
Your right I should let HV know I suppose so i'll call them in morn & tell them what im doing.

Thanks again & glad Damien is improving

I think only Tesco's and Boots sell it. The expense is worth it if it works :) should be free though :wink:

Good luck - let me know how you get on with it.

Hey Sami,

I have posted here aswell as on the reflux link incase you dont get it...
Well I am now using the c&g omneo but cant say there has been any improvement yet..... do you know how long it takes to notice a difference? shes only been on it for almost 2 days....
I went to doc yesterday as im having real problems feeding her & he couldnt give 2 hoops just told me that changing milk doesnt help and have to live with it until she's on solids. I wanted to hit him :wall:

oh....
OMG your right about the poo :shock: :shock: :shock:
It STINKS ! I even gagged !
