    Are there any remedies for relieving reflux (GER) in preemies? My baby is being breastfed so also if any foods I’m eating that could be worsening the reflux then do let me know.

    Thanks!

    I cant make recommendations for preemies especially with them being a client/signing consents. However foods that trigger reflux would be nightshades, spicy foods, dairy, fatty foods and caffeine. Other foods can trigger it but these are the main ones you want to avoid. Sorry I cant be of more help with this!

    Homeopathics to consider (do not give these unless you’ve check with his doctor/practitioner first):

    •  Natrum Phos 3X tissue salt helps neutralise acids and aids digestion. you may give this 3 times a day to your baby for 4-6 weeks and if results are encouraging, continue until all symptoms are resolved. dissolve 1 pellet in 1/4 cup water and with a syringe give a COUPLE drops to the baby.
    • Magnesium Phos 3X is another tissue salt that helps with cramps, spasm and pain. It works best when administered in warm water and can be given at the same time as the Natrum Phos 3X. Dissolve 1 pellet in 1/4 cup water and with a syringe give a COUPLE drops to the baby.
    • Nux vomica 30 is one of the main remedies for reflux with severe bloating, arching and a tight belly. Vomiting. Sour belchings.They seem angry and the pain appears to be in spasms; there may be constipation. Colic in
    • Chamomilla 30c is for the baby who is angry, irritable, restless and very sensitive to pain. Wants to be held. Cramps with vomiting. Flatulent colic worse at night. Acid rising, regurgitation of milk/ food. They don’t know what they want, capricious. Wants things but then refuses. Child cries and must be carried to be consoled. Worse when teething. nursing infants from stimulating food taken by mother. This remedy can help detox the effects of medications used during or after the birth and improve digestive function.
    • Bryonia 30 suits babies who vomit immediately after feeding. Aversion to milk but relishes it when taken. Worse for warm drinks. Stomach sensitive to touch.
