My little one was diagnosed with reflux approx 5 weeks old, we wanted to try everything before medication. Immediately this worked, she stopped vomiting completely from the first feed! You do need to wait 7-10 mins for the power to dissolve its very thick and sometimes doesn’t dissolve and stays lumpy which gets stuck in the teat. - Strengths:

although this did help my sons reflux at first, it was really thick and he struggled to drink it getting him frustrated at feed times. it also didn’t agree with his tummy meaning it was short lived in our household. it goes clumpy in the bottle very quickly - Strengths:

Our little one was diagnosed with reflux at 3 weeks old and we were recommended to try this after being on C&G Comfort. And it worked right from the 1st feed! No more crying and squirming during winding, no more having to keep baby upright after feed and the best thing no more projectile vomit!
Would definitely recommend a faster teat as the milk is much thicker and we found little one was struggling to feed but once we swapped teat it's been brill!
Would highly recommend!! - Strengths:

Our son was diagnosed with reflux at 2 weeks old, we tried this milk and have never looked back! It’s been amazing no more holding him upright for 30 minutes plus after feeding, no more projectile vomiting, it’s been amazing well worth a go if your child has reflux. I do recommend using a faster flow test with the milk as it’s thick and medium teat wasn’t big enough for our son. - Strengths:

Our baby used to suffer terribly with silent reflux and would need to be held for at least 30 minutes after every feed. This formula has certainly changed most of that.
Whilst he still suffers a little the formula is much easier on his tummy and allows him to take bigger feeds. It can be hard when travelling as it does thicken so you can’t make it ahead as it can be too thick for baby to drink and goes a bit smelly. We just take a flask of hot water and make bottles as/when needed.
A top tip if you use a perfect prep machine, put both shots of water in the bottle before adding the formula otherwise it will go lumpy!

Tried this instead of giving gavison in every bottle and my LO instantly improved. She's more content after each bottle I think ita due to being a thicker formula and no more throwing her bottle back up. Getting her wind up is so much easier since changing to this product. - Strengths:

My boy was diagnosed with reflux at 7 weeks old and was told to put him on reflux milk. He was on Cow & Gate first milk so thought to swap onto this. I just found it a complete faff to make as it's not like making a first milk bottle. It was great for my boys reflux though as was good and thick and really helped him out. But I did end up changing to a different brand. - Strengths:

We used this milk when our little was sickie, we were advised by our health visitor it work for a while then we realized he has a milk allergy to cows milk, but the down side to this milk is that it’s hard to make as is doesn’t all dissolve and gets stuck in the teat hole and my baby was getting distressed by this also I don’t like that fact it’s more expensive than ordinary milk especially when the percentage of babies with Reflux or colic is higher than the not.Positives it’s thick so if it does work for you then it also keep baby going between feeds better. - Strengths:

This milk has hugely helped a very un-happy baby who just could not keep his food down. It’s made a great improvement to his happiness.

Our little one suffered with reflux at just a few weeks old. We had tried medication but it didn't work and we were having very restless nights. We thought we would give this a go before trying more new medication and it worked straight away! He took to it and drinks all of the milk that is offered to him without bringing it back up or suffering afterwards. The only negative is that it takes SO long to prepare a bottle with having to cool the water and then wait 7 minutes after preparing the bottle for it to thicken. But i would take that over him being in pain any day. Also it's a shame it's more expensive than the other formula when you only get the same amount. Well worth a try though for a refluxy baby! - Strengths:
