How To Start Weaning A Reflux Baby. My baby suffered so much that if Im honest I hated being a mum. Parents of a baby suffering from reflux are sometimes told to wean early but standard first foods such as apples and carrots may be too acidic and exacerbate a sensitive gut.
It can be confusing knowing when and how to start introducing solid foods. Rice is also good. A GP or specialist may recommend some treatments for reflux.
To wean your baby off their reflux medications they must be ready to wean off them.
If the thickening powder does not help or your baby is breastfed a GP or specialist might recommend medicines that stop your babys stomach producing as much acid. A powder thats mixed with formula to thicken it. You can start weaning one dose usually the mid-day dose is the best one to start with and if you see reflux symptoms creeping back you know its not time. In my experience with reflux babies the first and most important factor to rule out is milk allergy or intolerance.
