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

If I can give this product a 10000 stars I truly would my son had laryngomalacia which is a obstruction basically a growth in his throat and would cause him not be able to drink his bottle then he went on a feeding tube fast forward I followed a face book group they spoke about this product and google search and this product came up and he is now almost 2 years old and thriving so thank you gelmix for every thing you done!!! You help my son

This is a life saver for my 7 month old who has struggled with GERD & suck deficiency since birth. She no longer chokes & gags her way through feedings and her symptoms of silent reflux have greatly reduced. Biggest bonus, she is gaining weight! Now that bottles are no longer a traumatic event, she is taking larger bottles and growing like a weed! We batch make formula for 24 hours anx gelmix mixes well for a creamy finish that my baby loves. See video. Thank you!

Ordered many times. Will continue to order. It thickens up my Dr Pepper to shake level. Soo good.

Great concept for acid reflux babies but you have to do some good math to figure out the correct formulation to get a good consistency to the bottle. Pricey but worth it if alternative options are not a possibility

This product is so amazing for getting to feed my preemie newborn with feeding difficulties breast milk! My baby left the NICU on formula thickened with oatmeal to prevent micro aspirating. Because I continued pumping since birth, I was really hoping to find a way to feed her breast milk at a texture she can tolerate, and this did the trick! I am so grateful! Tips: The ratio of Gelmix powder to breast milk or formula may be a bit of an art for your baby and required some trial and error. Our baby started with one scoop (provided) per oz, which we're hoping to gradually decrease. We start with milk either room temp or slightly warmed and use a milk frother to try and avoid the clumps. We typically make 10-20 mins in advance of a feeding at room temp. Cons: Very difficult to get the powder to incorporate without clumping - you have to have a frother, or heat up the milk quite a bit to get it to mix, or mix well in advance. It does take some time to thicken, so if you need milk ASAP it will be an issue. May cause gas - this could be due to the frothing/shaking needed to mix the powder. Price is a little high, but it's worth it to feed my baby the breast milk I worked so hard to produce!

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.

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.

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