I really hope this helps Tyler. How did he go with his cot? I also use a cot wedge for Brody's reflux to elevate him when he sleeps and this is useful.

We give LO ranitidine 3 times a day. Morning around 6:30am then lunchtime and before bed at 6:30pm.
thanks for your responses, he's only to have it every 8 hours because of his weight (13lb 6) he is also on cow and gate comfort but have noticed that this along with the gaviscon is really thick and he's working really hard to get any out so will have to get bigger teats.
hi sim, we've knocked the cot on the head for a while as the dr said to let him sleep wherever he is comfy for the moment until he improves, and am going to put a single mattress in his room when he's ready to do it properly.

At least now you have a diagnosis and your armed with something that will hopefully help. On a thread I started about wind and reflux, a girl suggested a formula in oz that is designed to help babies with reflux. After I read some online reviews on it, many reported their lo suffering from constipation as a result. Ive also read the same thing being said of the gaviscon. It may not happen for all babies but just be aware of this for Tyler on the C&G and the gaviscon as Id hate for you to find another problem is introduced. Hopefully the renitadine will do the trick for you. Im so glad you finally got some help after all this time and that you start to see the real little man beneath all that pain.. and you start to get some good nights sleep!
