Anti reflux formula recommendation

Hello guys. My GP prescribed Carobel for my baby . I have tried a couple of days now and no luck. If anything it had gotten worse even as my LO hasn’t had an open bowel in the last 24hrs which is unlike him. I have decided to stop giving it. He is currently on kendamil original and I want to switch to an anti reflux formula. Any recommendations on what has been helpful to you guys will be appreciated

I switched from Kendamil to C&G anti reflux. He's been better since being on it but he sometimes gets constipated. He's drinking a lot more and sleeping much better. Our doctor didn't think there was anything wrong when he was bringing up milk but I personally felt like it was a lot each time so just went with my gut instinct.

My baby had really bad reflux. We switched him from the normal Aptamil to Kendamil. It only helped a bit. Then we changed him to Apramil Ant Reflux. It worked wonders! I would definitely recommend it.

Carobel worked wonders for us. I used 2 scoops and she never got constipated

We’re on cow & gate anti reflux. My baby is nearly 3 weeks old. When we first switched it did make him constipated. But now we’re on week 2 and he is no longer constipated and there is no sickness. If you switch your baby needs time to get used to the milk as it is a lot thicker than the normal milk. Also I would recommend getting a size up teat depending on which bottles you’re using as the milk is thicker it may not come out properly and your baby may get frustrated xxx

My little girl is on carobel and it made her constipated too. So we ended up giving her some lactoose. On recommendation from the pharmacist. It worked great for about 3 days then she went back to how it was. So went back to the Drs and they put her on gaviscon too. Dr said to alternate it one feed gaviscon the other carobel.

I looked into the anti reflux milks but the ones I looked at had carobel in them which she's already on so it wasn't worth swapping to them.

I'm sorry I'm not much help, I hope you find something that works soon ☺️
