Hi. We've been prescribed gaviscon today for reflux but it seems to be blocking the teats of the bottle? Any advice?

Are you mixing it with formula? I exclusive breastfeed so have to mix the powder with boiled water and I give it with a medicine syringe mid-feed. Maybe an option?

Yes formula feed. Ooo yes that's a good idea - thank you xx

I try to swirl it in before I shake it and so far it hasn’t managed to clog up any of the teats

We went up a teat size

If you are not using every feed you could use it with ready made formula for the ones you do x

I have to use a syringe! It won’t come out of the size 2 Tommee tippee teat, I tried to suck it out myself!😂

I did this too 😂😂

hey Kate. How do you make it up with the syringe? Xx

mix one sachet to 5ml of boiled water. You can mix up a few at a time in a sterilised bottle that you then use within 24h, so I tend to do 3-4 sachets at a time. I actually mix them in a bottle cap as it's so little and keep it upside down in the fridge with the bottle as the lid.

So I personally do it at the end of the feed, I syringe up 5ml of the remaining feed and mix the sachet and feed in the bottle lid. Then I syringe out of the lid and into babies mouth😇
