Trapped wind?

My little boy had severe silent reflux and was also on omeprazole from 2 weeks. He had CMPA, but I BF and cut out dairy and soya. A friend had an allergy baby also, and nutramigen wasn't hydrolysed enough for her little girl and she only settled once she was prescribed neocate - might be worth asking.
Infacol made my LOs reflux SO much worse. We used gripe water it was fine alongside.
He is now 3, his reflux got soo much better after about 3 months and once he could sit up / burp himself it was a game changer. We got him off omeprazole at 14 months, but did this veeeery slowly as he was on a huge dose as a baby. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! Sending solidarity x

How is your little one now? We have the same. Finley is on carobel & lanzoprazole but it constipated him so he's also on lactulose. But the gas now is awful. He grunts all night long and we can't sleep. He cries sometimes from the wind. I'm at breaking point from no sleep & his crying constantly. Did things improve? Would love any advice xxx

wow this feels like sooo long ago!
So we actually got prescribed aptamil pepti two weeks after this, after the nutramigen just wasn’t agreeing with him. We also struggled to give him omeprazole, it was taking around 20 minutes to give him it as he just point blank refused it, moving his head away and crying. So we stopped giving him it one night and his reflux improved after a few days. (We also use carobel in every bottle)
He was 6 month on the 14th of February, and like a total different baby. No reflux and no upsets after bottles.
We’ve started weaning and he’s starting to sleep a lot better. We were actually recommended to wean at 17 weeks due to his cows milk allergy to rule out any further allergens, so we started on a few mouthfuls of fruit and veg a day. But now he’s eating a lot more (still only once a day) and he’s sleeping a lot better. He’s asleep by 8pm and sleeps though to 4:30am, then back over until 7am

He does still sometimes struggle with trapped wind so we make sure he has his belly massage after his bath and it seems to help loads.
He did also get constipated with carobel so our HV mentioned there’s something else called magic mix but we never tried it.
Also prunes when he’s constipated! Honestly they’re amazing 😂 xx

@Laura Thanks so much! Do you think omeprazole made it worse? I'm honestly thinking to stop it. I think the carobel has helped the sickness but no clue what omeprazole has actually done as he was still so sick on it. Is your little one okay and not as gassy on just carobel? I'm so glad things have improved now.

I was wondering whether to try magic mix but don't want to change too much too quick!

I'm currently weaning down the lactulose by 1ml per week too to see if that helps. It's all so confusing!! Xxx

honestly I really do think the omeprazole made it worse, he was completely different after a few days of not giving him it. All the sickness stopped, he was bringing up quite a bit after every bottle and now I can’t remember the last time he spit up after a feed. He has the odd bit of sick if he’s jumped in his bouncer a bit too much 😂
He’s not as gassy now he’s only on carobel so I definitely think it’s helping with gas and sickness.
It’s so hard to get everything right to help them! I hope you get the right balance soon, it’s all so confusing but you’re doing a great job! X
