Hello
Nan 1 is an infant formula that is marketed for infants from birth to six months of age. It does not contain ingredients that will reduce his reflux.
Many infants with reflux and no weight loss, cough, or wheeze will thrive. Infants with reflux usually get better over time with no treatment with the regurgitation beginning to resolve by the end of the first year.
Methods to reduce his reflux include frequent burping while feeding and holding him upright on your shoulder for 20-30 minutes after each feeding.
Your infant ought to be followed by his pediatrician for changes in feeding, weight, or respiratory complaints.
If you make these changes and he is still not sleeping at night, you can think about adding rice cereal, one tablespoon, to two ounces of formula to thicken the milk. This will increase the calories he takes in.
If you decide to do this, you should carefully crosscut the opening of the nipple, but this can lead to increases in coughing and gagging.
Should these suggestions be of no help, you should take your baby to his doctor for follow-up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
