I have 5 month old 31.3 week old premee triplets. that was just put on neocate formula due to allergy/intolerance to milk,soy, & grains causing severe reflux, with it being a silent reflux in one of them. I am looking to thicken the formula due to this issue. what can you recommend to use as a thickener. I have been told that either carobel or gaurcol could be used, is this true. I have not been aable to find an ingredient list for either and do not want to give them something that has ingedients that they have an intolerance or allergy to.
Hair I'm Chat Doctor. But it will settle once the baby grows and the coordination of swallowing and breathing are maintained properly. As they are 5 completed months and being triplets your breast milk will not be sufficient and it's time to start on reign and rice feeds. You can add this as a thickening agent. Add 1ml of MCT oil to each feed. Way ever you feed them give in easily swallowable form and do feed them in sitting position only. Take care.
