nat phos 6x and 9 week old - help
I have used NP6x in the past with my toddler when he was an infant and had severe reflux and it was the only thing that helped him. I am a complete believer in this remedy and recommend it to anyone who will listen.Now, I have another baby - 9 weeks old tomorrow and I suspect she has silent reflux. She has shown symptoms and is also gagging out of no where and seems uncomfortable while and after eating. She is not medically diagnosed, but after going thru what I did with my son, it's almost obvious that this is what is happening.
She is on NeoSure formula as she was 7 weeks, 2 days early and is just now 7 pounds, 3.5 ounces.
What is a safe dose to give her and how often?
Thank you so much! I am also not sure if I need to request an answer from Joe De Livera. I appreciate answers from anyone who is knowledgeable on the subject as well. Thank you :)

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
If you want to use Joe's protocol go to
his website www.joedelivera.com- I am
sure it is explained in detail many times
over- and you can talk to him on there,
as he is not on here that often.

Thank you! I will check it out to see if the answer is already there - I just didn't know if I needed to request it still.
I did a few years ago when I posted about my son, but I really am open to everyone :)

Nat Phos has a known effect of reducing
acidity.
So in a way, using nat phos is like going out and buying a rolaids
tablet ( only no side effects) It works on some and not on others.
A truly homeopathic way of prescribing would get the particular
symptoms and what makes things better and worse for your
child. There are many remedies in homeopathy for reflux and they
are prescribed when they match the individual characteristics.
You can also put Gerd, reflux, or joedelivera in the search box
on this forum and read the prescription advice he gives for nat phos.
Other people on here would prescribe based on individual symptoms
of your child.

OK that works for me!
I will be back in about an hour or so to list them all out - she needs to eat and all that fun stuff, but I will be back.
Thank you!

Symptoms:
Gagging over and over out of no where
Crying more as she gets older, during and after eating.
Clenching her body up randomly - reminds me of trying to BM, but is not having a BM
Swallows randomly, as if swallowing vomit that has come up
9 weeks old today (Monday 8/25) and 7 pounds, 3.5 oz.
BMs - used to be multiple times a day, now is once very 24-36 hours. Was going almost 48 hours for about a week without a BM.
Is formula fed - she is a preemie, 7 weeks, 2 days early and is on Similac Neosure, 28 calorie feeds.
I breastfed/pumped for her first 3 weeks of life, then I no longer produced milk. She's been strictly formula since then, but has been supplemented since day 1 since I couldn't supply enough.
I'm not sure what other information would be needed - feel free to ask me! Thank you!

Try Nux vomica 30c. Dissolve 3 pills
in 1/4 cup of water. Give one tsp as a
dose. The first dose should be given in the evening, then one the next morning and one
the next evening.
You can try this 3 times to see if it works- if no improvement another remedy has to be chosen.
If after dose one or two you see improvement - stop at that dose. Wait
and observe. Do not give another dose until baby is having a relapse or things
have stalled out. Each individual's body will respond differently and dosing is based
on the response.
