Have a 10 week old and I?m thinking she has reflux, doctors no real help but she cries so much when awake (not at set times of the day etc), sounds like she is in real pain. Infant gaviscon doesn?t seem to help.


Wondering if anyone would recommend a private paed and are there any in the area?

Hey, yes I have. I really feel for you. I have an old thread that I will link to as it has helped me and several others. I have had two reflux babies.


The nearest private consultant is Babu Vademalayan. He is the clinical lead at the Pediatric Gastro clinic at Kings but also run a private clinic at the Guthrie Wing (also Kings). His bedside manner is pretty poor but he is helpful and will help you get care with your GP too for follow ups. PM if you have any questions. You should also look into CMPI ALLERGIES as it?s often linked


Sending hugs and wine, it is so hard.

My 3 year old was very colicky as a baby, I was told reflux and she was prescribed medication but did not help, turned out she had a cows milk allergy and was put on prescribed milk at 12 weeks, was a different baby overnight! It may be more than reflux, my daughter had a blotchy rash mainly on face, runny poo?s after all feeds but this was put down to her being breastfed, screamed at night, took ages to settle her, If you?re bottlefeeding I?ve read Aptamil comfort milk is meant to be good for reflux babies, good luck, hope you have a happier baby soon!

If you?re breastfeeding, could be useful to seek advice to check there aren?t problems around positioning and attachment, oversupply or fast letdown which could be causing the discomfort and can all be relieved without medication.


If gaviscon is making no difference, first step is to return to GP and ask for

the NICE guidelines to be followed and trial ranitidine (ensuring you have a recent weight for

Baby so get to HV clinic)



Be very cautious with regard to CMPA information/guidelines available especially if you?re breastfeeding

as there is lots that can be done to continue supporting this which often isn?t communicated especially as most

funding comes from formula companies with commercial interests ahead of health.

    • Miranda Sawyer of the (once) Observer has done a piece on festival on Insta which might be of-interest.  Councils are private companies, imo. They make money for themselves, imo.  I do not think by law that they have to follow anything brought up by a consultation, this is for 'face' only - hence, LTNs and everything else.  
    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.
