Reflux milk and bottle teat sizes

@Alice she’s had tongue tie so even though she’s 3 months old she’s only on size 1 as she’s still learning 😭 just know the milk is thicker but wanted to know what level it even comes out at 😂

Maybe just purchase 1 pack of the size 2 teats and see how you get on? It will just have to be trial and error and some extra washing up/ sterilising 🙈 x

I am in the exact same position! Drs gave me infant gaviscon and I swear it made it 10x worse. So I’ve gone back to the reflux milk. I use size 2 teets for all my bottles and me LO is absolutely fine x

@Alice haha yes luckily we have some size 2 because she drinks so much so we are on the big bottles 😂

@Jessica do you find the reflux milk helps? She’s really gotten on well with the Gaviscon but they literally only give us 4 days worth at a time and I can’t stand to watch her in pain when they faff about with re-prescribing it for her 😭 ah perfect was worried it would be too thick for the 2 x

Is reflux milk thicker? We’ve formula fed with thickener before for reflux. We used carobel. Because it thickens a size 2 teat was needed.

@Beccy I believe it’s thickened with carobel looking at the packet! Ah perfect luckily I have some size two at home ☺️

@Jessica we had this problem. Gaviscon seemed to work for 3 days then things went down hill really quickly. We went back to the doctors and they prescribed Omepizol which seems to be working better than the Gaviscon

@Laura it helps soooo much with my boy, he throws up a little but honestly nothing compared to what it was with normal milk and gaviscon. That’s so stupid, when I got given the gaviscon it was for 2 weeks worth. Beware that if you do use the reflux milk it might make her comstipated, that’s the only issue with having the reflux milk so I’ve had to be prescribed lactulose to help him poo x

@Ellen I think it worked a day for us which was nice for that day but ever since then it just hasn’t worked which is annoying.

O would try size 2 and I believe the milk is slightly thicker with the gaviscon? She will struggle with the size 1's I think, my girl has just gone on to size 2 mam teats this week with normal milk and is doing fab with them

My wee boy is on size 2 teats, 9 weeks old has reflux and had a tongue tie which he got cut last week. We were on gaviscon but it made him worse so doctors prescribed omaprazol
