Infant Thickener for Breast Milk & Formula, 4.4 oz Jar

It’s been YEARS since I wrote a product review here! That’s how AMAZING this product is. If you’re reading this, you’re as desperate as I was yesterday. I read all the reviews of this product before buying it. Shipped overnight and got it early in the morning. This has 100% stopped the terrible, and I mean horrible spit ups and reflux my 7 week old baby had. The first feeding using it still brought some thick spit up. Second feeding a tiny bit came just out the mouth. Since the third feeding there’s zero spit up. I can’t believe it! The bottle recommends starting slow so here’s we we do and is working, just typing it because this product is expensive and there’s no need to use so much when a tiny tiny bit of it just does its magic: We have a bottle warmer always on at 108F and a glass container (dollar tree cutips glass!) with water always warm. We mix a little under the line that the measuring cup has (about 1/3 of the scoop) into the prewarmed water. We have those metal small shake mixers in our glass Dr browns bottles. Shake this product with water and let it rest while we change her diaper. Then, we add two scoops of Bobbie formula (this is the thickest we’ve found -regular, not the organic) to make 4 oz of formula. We shake well. By the time we sit down and have baby ready to eat, the formula has thickened to the consistency of what I would compare to pineapple juice (you know how it’s thicker than apple juice!?). This amount is just perfect for our daughter. No need to add any more. We read ALL the reviews and decided to use a probiotic as well to make sure her gas and bowels are on point while using this product. Instead of doing the probiotic once a day (5 drops) we do one drop per feeding 5 times a day so space the use of probiotic throughout feedings. She regularly poops once a day and today she didn’t poop so I’m hoping this does t get her constipated. Will update the review in a few days. Don’t hesitate and stop questioning everything you do and what to try. Just give this product a try

Our 16 week old little girl has been crossing percentiles down - massive spitups accompanying almost every feed. She went from gaining 14gm per day down to just 1gm per day in just over a month. We started using gelmix to thicken her bottles as a last ditch attempt and this stuff is magic. She is now able to keep her fortified breastmilk bottles down with minimal spitups and is benefiting from the calories - finally 🙏 We only use 1/4 tsp of this product to thicken a 4oz bottle (so less then recommended) and that is sufficient for her. Also you need to tap the thickener into the bottle and swirl simultaneously so big blobs don’t form.

We love it, helps our baby from aspirating on breastmilk. The ONLY downside is the price, we go through it in 4-5 days and need it medically for our baby. But it really does work as intended and has probably saved our little one, so we are very thankful for it. TIPS TO MAKE (for anyone wondering that also uses pumped breastmilk): • heat up (in bottle warmer) to 100 degrees - do not go over 115 in temp. • put in gelmix - we do one full scoop per ounce 5 oz=5 scoops • use milk frother - it won’t fully combine with breastmilk without one - shaking does not fully work or combine so it can be uneven in thickness. • after mixed with frother - put back on warmer for 5-10 mins to fully thicken - we found this really helped us get the right consistency • you can pre-thicken feeds and put in the fridge after but it will get extra thick - you could put extra unthickened milk in and froth to get the desired consistency.

Very good product, it helps my newborn a lot

If you are on an amino acid formula (which is notoriously thin) and dealing with projectile vomiting, this is one of the only options that actually works. We used it to manage our baby’s severe reflux, and it did stop the spit-up and reflux. However, it is not a "perfect" product—there are significant trade-offs. The Good: Zero Calories: Unlike rice cereal, this doesn't add extra calories or "bulk" to the diet, which was important for our feeding plan. Allergen-Free: It contains no common allergens, making it safe for babies on specialized formulas. Effectiveness: It effectively thickened the thin formula and significantly reduced the projectile vomiting and reflux episodes. The Not-So-Good: Mixing Issues: This is very clumpy. You have to shake the bottle vigorously to break down the chunks. The Gas Trade-off: All that shaking introduces tons of air bubbles. Our baby’s gas became much worse after starting this, which is a tough battle when you're already dealing with reflux. The "Weaning" Hazard: Be careful when stopping! Because the baby gets used to the "slow" flow of thick liquid, moving back to thin liquids can cause choking as they have to "re-learn" how to swallow correctly. Verdict: It’s a necessary tool for severe reflux, but use the smallest amount possible and be prepared for some extra gassiness.

المنتج مفيد جدا ولكن تم رفع السعر بشكل مبالغ والطفل يحتاج ٤ علب كل شهر الوضع مكلف جدااا
