My LG is 3w4d amd has projectile vomited at least once a day since she was a week old and then smaller amounts of sickness after other feeds. She had a cold earlier this week and thought her sickness would get better once her cough stopped but now realise the cough is part of reflux. Gaining weight fine (7lb 7oz born and 8lb 10oz at 3w2d). Had a MW appointment this week and she suggested making an appointment with a GP to discuss prescribing infant gaviscon. Is this needed/likely to help? Don't want to give her medication if it's going to stop her body getting better by itself and not sure if it will really help. Once she's sick sometimes she's unsettled and wants a second feed, other times she'll happily go to sleep. It seems to be before she's sick that causes more problems. We're sitting her up to feed, keeping her sat up for 30 minutes afterwards and taking regular breaks to wind. Was BF in hospital but been formula fed since 2 days old. The sickness can be within 30 minutes of feeding or can be a couple of hours later but we can normally hear when she's likely to be sick as it sounds rattling inside her or she has the reflux cough.
Any suggestions of anything else we can try or have you got experience of seeing a GP about this/using gaviscon?
