Im not too sure but charlies on gaviscon too and what i would do is wean her off the gaviscon and see how she is if shes ok then just take her off it, i tryed weaning charlie off it now hes on solids but it didnt work he still has reflux quiet bad so i decided to keep giving each feed xx

yep hun, keep up the gaviscon until the dr advises not to or you feel Caitlin doesnt need it

I think its different with different babies - at the end of the full fat milk is still runny, giving it plenty of opportunity to jump back out her mouth. If we don't use the gaviscon for one feed it makes no difference (granted we're not weaning/on solids yet) but more than 2 in a row and she's sick - we were told that she'd need it ongoing for a pretty long time.

Good luck hun!
