You'd probably be OK trying it. Can I ask what her symptoms are? My little girl is on medication for reflux xx

in reply tofairywomble

She was very Un settled after a feed wouldn't go down without falling asleep up right on my chest or over my shoulder, wretching and coughing after a feed, bringing up little bits of milk and it was taking a long time to process her meals almost 24 hours to pass a stool sometimes longer, tried her on the formula it seems to have settled her so much more than before she no longer coughs or wretches after a feed tends to go down almost instantly it isn't so painful for her to bring up her wind anymore and I'm getting more of it up and she's done three poos today :) that's all been in 3 feeds of using reflux milk from cow and gate it's brilliant

Ifs it's working for you, I wouldn't worry about it. She's feeding and she's happy that what matters.
