Reflux Mummies, did you wean early?
Hi,
My LO 4 half months now and it been muted by GP that if I wean early might help her reflux, shes been on hypoallergenic milk for 2 weeks now which has virtually resolved her wind/griping pains but not sure if weaning early will help her or not. HV was vague and said it sometimes helps but I want more advice than that, worried it might trigger wind again.
Any experience or advice greatly received!

It really helped her reflux and weight gain. She would still bring up milk, but any of the pureed food i gave her stayed down.
She is now 9 months, and the still has problems with milk, but none of her solid food ever comes up
However, I have weaned the boys at 21 weeks and it hasnt made much difference (although theirs is silent reflux so no sick) They seem uncomfortable after solids as well as milk, although the milk has Gaviscon in which helps...cant put that in solids
I started weaning at just over 5 months but just because they were ready and have never really been milk lovers.
Now, at nearly 11 months, I'd say that Lily occasionally gets silent reflux (maybe once every couple of days) and we get some sicky burps but other than that, they seem to have grown out of it
