REFLUX AND TREATMENT

I've had a very busy few days and have seen 2 former babies who are just wonderful and blossoming.

I have been doing my night work and that baby has been confirmed with Reflux and now is on Gaviscon Infant until she she's the specialist; and I have to say, it is helping to settle her more quickly and she seems to be in less discomfort, thank goodness.
She is still a very noisy sleeper and it takes a trained ear to determine whether she needs attention, or she is just sleeping noisily!

However, it is still hard for mum to not worry about all the noise she makes and manage to sleep through the snuffles and grunts!

Worth trying Gaviscon Infant in these circumstances though and a specialist's advice is also called for, as I am reluctant to keep a small baby on Gaviscon Infant for a long time because of the sodium content in it. The specialist can prescribe some better remedies.
