Reflux scan - advice needed

Hello. My baby is having a reflux scan at the end of the month. She’s exclusively breastfed and I’ve no idea if she will take a bottle. I’ve got to bring a feed with me for them to add in the tracer. Has anyone got any tips or advice or can share their experience of navigating this while EBF? Anything suggestions or experiences very gratefully received!

Heya, sorry to jump in here but how long does it take you for referral.
Hopefully someone will pop and give you advice x

I saw the GP on Thursday and the appointment is the 30th. So about 3.5 weeks where I am.

just saw your location. This is for St Helier hospital which is part of the grouping with Epsom Hospital. Assume you might be nearest Kingston but if their wait is ages I think you can ask to switch.

wow this is amazing. I am waiting 8 weeks to see pediatric doctor and I am on the priority list. Waited 3 months to be seen by dietitians too. I’ll definitely check for opinions how to switch as Epsom is very close. Thank you so much

I haven’t had our paediatrician appt through yet so I don’t know what the wait there will be. My GP was considering submitting it as fast track (I don’t know if he did in the end) as it’s the second time she’s had a really bad cough (thinks silent reflux is aggravating it) and she was hospitalised with viral meningitis at 6 weeks old, so we’ve had a lot going on in a short space of time.
