Hi,

I have a 11 week old baby who suffers from reflux. The last couple of days she has started wheezing and coughing with every feed. I rang her paedaetrician today and he said that the milk might be going down the wrong way and he has put her on thickener which has to go in her bottle. He said if this does not work I have to take her to have either a barium meal or a milk study to see why the milk is going down the wrong way. I want to know if any one else out there has had the same problem with their baby and what treatment they did for bubs.

Hi there, we had a similar problem but alot different (won't go into it)
I tried to hold DD in a semi sitting position while feeding, and have 'rests' a bit more. Hope this helps along with the thinckener.
