My Boy is 8 weeks old today and has reflux and been put on gaviscan. Doesnt seem to work great and have been to doctors again and once he gets weighed today is going onto losec but was told it often doesnt stop them being sick just the pain. What are other peoples experiences. He is currently on nuture formula. The Baby swing is a great invention he spends most of his time in there doesnt really like his bouncer

I agree Baby swings are a god send! The losec won't stop him being sick but will reduce the acid so therefore eventually has a side effect of reducing the vomiting. If the losec doesn't work you can also try Ranitidine which worked better for us.
Losec will take up to 3 weeks to work properly so hang in there and you can give him Gaviscon as well but needs to be at least 2 hours apart from the Losec.

How are things going?

There does not need to be a two hour gap between Losec and Gaviscon. (That is Ranitidine.)
