Gelmix 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

This product has been a miracle worker for my twin babies! It can be mixed with formula or with breastmilk. My twins were spitting up, honestly could’ve been classified as vomiting though, with every bottle. Our GI specialist had us switch from breastmilk to formula, to Alimentum, and eventually to EleCare which is completely broken down for a babies tummy to not have to digest. Still, we didn’t get a handle on the reflux. We tried Pepcid, we tried oatmeal, we tried reflux sit up protocols, and a variety of other things. During a hospital stay for weight gain, our doctor had us try thickening with Gelmix. It immediately made a difference. It only has a couple of ingredients, it’s safe, and it makes the bottles consistently the perfect consistency, and helps my twins eat without spitting up some or all of their bottles. We’ve been using this for 3 months now and we’ve tried transitioning to oatmeal as a thickener but my twins just do so much better with this. I’m so thankful for this product! As for cons, it isn’t covered by insurance and I can’t order it through a pharmacy or find it in store. I can only order it, but thanks to amazons subscription option, that isn’t too much of a problem.

I never write reviews anymore, but this one deserves it. If you are struggling with reflux due to highly hydrolysized formula this is worth the try. My baby has a cows milk protein allergy and is on Nutramigen for formula. Thankfully the formula solved the lower GI issues/mucus, but created a whole other issue as it is so thin. This product seems to have solved it. For the first time, my daughter slept a 6 hour stretch (9 weeks) and was happy all day long. I’m actually on edge because there has been so much crying the last two months, I feel like it is too good to be true. She went from refusing to eat after an oz and a half (she would start “coughing”) to 4 ounces immediately, We use a glass Dr brown bottle to heat 4 oz of milk to 100 degrees, then add in 1 scoop, we mix with a fritter, wait the 5 minutes, and then pour into her Mam bottle. I hope this review helps someone!

We love this! Always ships super fast

This helped a lot with my baby’s spit up, but the product is so expensive. I love that Gelmix is more naturally based though. My baby went from spitting up half a bottle to barely spitting up. You do have to follow the mixing instructions to get the best consistency otherwise it will clump.

My baby has thrown up everything due to severe acid reflux. This product worked wonders!!! I would recommend it 10000 times!

My three-month-old baby is already being treated for reflux, but she still has many episodes of vomiting. We decided to try Gelmix because the milk just wasn’t staying in her stomach, and she was having trouble gaining weight. We started with a small amount (1 scoop to 4 oz), and right away we noticed that she was spitting up less. On the day we started the treatment, she didn’t poop. She usually poops every day at the same time with the same consistency. The next day, I noticed she was straining and couldn’t go. When she finally did, she screamed in pain—worse than when she got her vaccines. Her stools became large, hard pellets, and she spent the last 12 hours in pain trying to pass about five of them. It’s heartbreaking to see a baby suffer. Gelmix may work for some babies, but please watch closely for any signs of constipation. Fortunately, I contacted Amazon chat and was able to get a refund for the product, which is quite expensive and non-returnable.

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

I ordered 5 cans. They all expire in less than 5 months which is very short period of timr

Al fin puede conseguirse en México!!! Lo podemos usar para leche materna o cualquier fórmula sin que tenga que ser anti-reflujo
