My nephew (6 months) has recently been but on a low dosage of Losec (adult indigestion med). It's worked absolute wonders. He was like a different bub last time I saw him - better rested, happy, and asleep when he should be.

Yeah our second son had terrible reflux and we put him on thickened formula - the difference was night and day.

Pamol - my boy is immune to that now - we are trying for something stronger
Any suggestions?
Not stronger as such but different: Brufen. Infant's ibuprofen, reduces fever and inflammation. We've used it for our kids with ear infections, fever, throats etc. when the pamol wasn't cutting it. I think it's pharmacy only and I'm sure it has some possible side effects like any drug.
Datsane, midwives are an opinionated but very varied bunch of women. I'm married to one.

The best advice going for parenting. Don't seek out more stress by being dogmatic about things!

Like possible stomach ulcers/bleeding....make sure they are taken with lots of food, if the ingredients are anything like adult Ibuprofen.

Yar, having looked at the bottle it says "with food" and "Prescription only", so it wasn't much use me recommending it because it's not for general sale to us punters anyway.
