Gah! Am literally at the end of my tether!
LO started on Aptamil, Dr Browns and Level 1 teats. Drank too slow and took ages, so moved to level 2 teat at 4/5 weeks. Was better. Then got really windy, refluxy etc.
Later, diagnosed with reflux and cow's milk intolerance so moved onto Nutramigen. Was much better, but noticed milk was thinner so still reflux. Still windy, so had to burp every 1oz during 6oz bottle. Took forever!
Decided to try Aptamil Anti-reflux, was a brill milk and she downed 6oz easily asking for more. Used Y Cut teats as thicker milk. Within 3 days got horrific constipation which lasted, so went back to Nutramigen.
Tried adding carobel thickener to milk so stayed on the y cut teats, but was so so windy. She drank 8oz really really fast but wasn't sure if it was the teat, or carobel etc that caused the wind so gave up.
Am now back on Nutramigen using a size 3 teat. But still got constant wind issues. She burps during feed (usually wet ones) don't have a problem there, it's that there seem to be constant burps waking her up during naps/nighttime!
Feel like I can't win! On size 2 teat, it took forever and she wouldn't have more than 6oz (probably bored)
On size 3 teat at mo, she's really windy, and still got reflux.
Tried size 4, as experiment. She drank fast and seemed happier, but there was constant wind again!
Aarrrggghh!! Please help!!
p.s. forgot to add, we use infacol before the feed and gripe water after. They both bring wet burps up, but it's getting them all up at the time I need help with!
