Reflux/colic advice
Baby girl is 10 weeks the last week she’s been crying during feeds, when burped, arching her back, pulling off the breast and screaming, sick (curdled) after nearly all feeds. She is mainly breast fed with a 4oz mixed formula/breast milk twice a day as she is a slow weight gainer only 9th centile.
It’s been making her wake in the night more too she used to sleep 7-8 hours now it’s only 5 hours max if lucky usually 3/4 hours.
She struggles to poo already so I’m put off gaviscon if it makes them constipated. Anyone have good reviews of omeprazole? I’m going to the GP tomorrow

So I’ve just come out the other side of this (I hope) started between 10/11 weeks and we are now approaching 13 weeks and all the reflux & colic symptoms are subsiding. I think it was related to the growth spurt they have around that age. I also learnt that the more fatty hindmilk helps with the reflux so have been expressing just a little longer to get that thicker milk. Hoping you can see the light at the end of the tunnel soon, I really feel your pain.. I was feeling so broken and defeated these last few weeks.
How did this go? My LO is the same and also on 9th centile at 8 weeks. She is inconsolable after every feed and sick is heavily curdled.
