When should you be cleaning babies mouth:
• If baby has reflux due to the gastric acid return which also causes a sour smell
• To prevent thrush
• Baby starts on solids
• Baby has a tooth

Other than that we dont need to as their saliva cleans their mouths.

We never use Glycerine to clean their mouths as this can cause thrush but it is also the same as us using coke as a Mouth wash.

Xgel is the only product I would recommend for cleaning your babies mouth and is available from me.

Is your baby on the correct formula? About 50% of all babies aren’t.

Do you know how to tell if your baby is on the right formula?

Here are some tips to determine if your baby is on the correct formula
If you answer yes to any of these questions then the answer is no:
· Is your baby drinking more or less than he should for his weight or than the tin says
· Are they struggling with constipation
· Are they struggling with reflux, excessive winds and cramps
· Are they demanding feeds more often than 4hrly (formula fed babies shouldn’t be demand fed) or drinking more bottles than the tin says eg tin says 5 per day but baby drinking 6
· Are they gaining more weight than they should – remember a fat baby is not a healthy baby. They shouldn’t be gaining more than 300g per week
· Do they wake often at night and during the day
· Is baby generally miserable especially after feeding
· Does your baby not sleep well or is over 6months and demanding night bottles
Formula fed babies should not be demand fed, only breastfed babies are demand fed. If they are drinking more than they should then this can cause reflux, cramps, constipation and poor sleeping. This is due to the fact that formula is designed to take 4hrs to digest

If you are feeding more often than 4hrs, then it means you are either overfeeding or it is a formula that is not sustaining babies hunger and baby is not getting the correct nutrients.

There is also no such thing as a hungry baby – a baby that is not satisfied by the formula means that it is the wrong formula.

FORMULAS MUST ONLY BE RECOMMENDED BY A HEALTH PROFESSIONAL TRAINED IN FORMULAS, NOT FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND FACEBOOK GROUPS WITH GOOD INTENTIONS AND NOT TRAINING. The reason is each formula is recommended on assessment of a baby who is an individual in their own right.

These are not Paediatrician problems.

I have trained in both Infant and Paediatric nutrition and pride myself in keeping up to date with the formula on the market. In my feeding clinic, I offer professional support and counselling whether you are Breastfeeding, Formula feeding or Introducing solids or even wanting to Breastfeed and are still pregnant.

In the feeding clinic, I will weigh and assess the baby, answer any questions and advise, and observe feeding where necessary. All consultations are one on one.

Each consult will be 30min long and will be R450 but I also submit directly to most Medical aid. Please inbox for me more info or to make an appointment or contact me on 0824009501.
At the end of the day though, we want happy babies, happy moms and happy families!

Does baby reflux cause gas?

Gas is such a common symptom in babies with reflux so the distinction really matters.

First: baby reflux itself is a symptom of a Feeding problem

Reflux can show up in many different ways. When I am supporting parents and babies, I look at a number of reflux-related symptoms and behaviours to understand what is going on for a baby first, and many of them may be gas-related.

For example, if your baby:
• Has lots of wind, burps or bottom wind
• Hiccups frequently
• Has explosive or uncomfortable poops

These are all gas-related symptoms.

Does baby reflux cause gas? No. Not directly.

It is the underlying issue your baby is struggling with that is creating excess air or gas, and that same issue is also driving reflux symptoms and discomfort.

Does gas contribute to reflux? Yes. It can, but not always.

Can gas be a sign that reflux is present?
Yes, but ii is also not a confirmation symptom in its own right.
We ALWAYS need to look at everything a baby is experiecing as a whole picture.

Gas increases pressure within the digestive system. That pressure pushes contents upward, which can intensify reflux symptoms, or downwards which increases digestive discomfort. This is why trying to “treat reflux” without understanding why the gas is there so often fails.

If your baby seems to struggle with excessive wind or gas, the most helpful next step is not guessing or trialling fixes. It is looking at the full symptom picture so you can identify patterns that point to the real root cause.

Also don't just Medicate!!

Correct the feeding problem!

Does your baby appear to be uncomfortable and cry a lot?

Remember no baby should be uncomfortable and be crying and unhappy? It is an old wife’s tale that it is normal!

Does your baby show any of the following signs?
· Are they irritable, grizzling, or grunting as if they cant get comfortable
· Do they cry inconsolably or even scream
· Do they show signs of bloating, cramps or excessive gassiness
· Do they have frequent, watery and explosive poos which can be frothy or greenish in colour
· Do they push as if they want to poo
· Do they pull their faces and swallow as if a bitter taste
· Bring up fresh or curdled (lumpy) milk after and between feeds
· Do they pull their arms in to themselves with tight fists
· Do they have times of wakefulness due to discomfort
· Do they show frequent signs of wanting to suck
· Do they have weight gains higher than 300g per week
· Do they arch back or sideways, with squirming and wriggling
· Do they pedal their legs at times and at other pull them into themselves
· Do they gulp their milk at times but at other times pull away from breast or bottle, flailing arms and legs with much turning of head

These are all signs of a feeding problems! Correct your babies feeding and your baby will be a happy comfortable baby. No baby should be unhappy and uncomfortable. Don’t just accept their discomfort because they are under 3months. They should also not be on Medication. We should always find the cause, correct feeding first, and not medicating first! If correcting feeding doesn’t help, then medication is last resort. I try and keep babies off medications as much as possible as medications can cause problems by themselves

I run a feeding clinic to assist with all these problems. As a qualified lactation consultant and infant & paediatric feeding specialist, I assist parents with their babies feeding issues every day.
Feel free to contact me at 0824009501 for set up an appointment, virtual consults can be organised for out of town moms, but in person is always best as I also do a physical examination.

A consult is a 30min session and is R475 cash. Consults can also be submitted directly to some medical aids
