Reflux, wind - help!
Hello, so my little girl is now 5 weeks old. She didn't have the best start to life and was tube fed for the first 2 days. She didn't know how to suckle a bottle. We overcome that problem. She was born 1 day late at 7lb. She was on cow and gate milk. We noticed when we got home that she was projectile vomiting her bottles, especially if lay down too quickly after a feed. Sometime she is sick during a feed and it's always the entire bottle that comes out. I just sit and cry because I'm so upset. She's still being monitored for weight by the health visitor because On Wednesday she was weighed and had only gained 4 oz since birth, which isn't alot. The hv thinks its a wind problem no a reflux problem but I disagree. I have suggested changing milk but she said no. I went to the gp at 2 weeks old and they were useless. I just feel like I'm getting no help. She's currently on aptamil 1 milk. Gets sick once a day atleast but I feel its ruining my life. I can't go anywhere because I'm scared she will vomit everywhere if I mess with her too much after a bottle. I've tried infacol, gripe water. She does burp - eventually. But can still be sick after.
Any advice is truly appreciated. Thank you, I'm desperate and sick of crying

My son suffers from reflux and when on normal milk was very sicky and suffered with burps. We had to feed with him sat up on my knee so the milk went down, also we put him on Aptamil reflux (HV says they sometimes don’t recommend as can bung them up) We also use Gaviscon infant as prescribed by the doctor and he now takes the full bottle and no sick!
