Gelmix Infant Thickener 2.4g Stick Box

I used it from the second month of my son since he had reflux, it worked pretty well..only thing, I would suggest to start with half a bag, or gradually before putting the entire dose. At the begging it was very heavy on him, right after the bottle or while drinking he was falling asleep and while sleeping it was very hard that he would burp… I was happy, I was like great no spits up no reflux no fussiness, he is satisfied until the night came… all bottles without a burp of course he had colics and he was fussy. Everything got better since the day after where I reduced the dosis and started offering it to him little by little.

My pediatrician suggested this product for my boy as he got extremely fussy after he would eat. (Lots of spitting up too!) Still getting the hang of mixing the product in with my breast milk but it works a CHARM! Worth the $24 I spent! I have to use a bigger flow nipples (my son uses 0) but he doesn’t just suck it down. So it’s a win-win! Just thick enough to still get through the nipple but not cause him to spit up.

this is what the NICU had my daughter add to her son's formula and it worked great. He also had to have it added to his water when he got older and started drinking water rather than only formula

Save my grandbaby

This really helped our preemie baby learn to eat

A great thickener. I love that it can be used for both breast milk and formula. A bit of a pain that it takes about 15-20 mins to complete the process of making the bottle, but so worth it for the outcome. Plus the packets make on the go so much easier!

Gelmix has been the only that has worked to help my son take in more volume in less time. Before that, he was taking 30-45 minutes to finish a bottle. Now he’s a solid 10 minutes.When we first bought Gelmix, we had a hard time preventing the powder from clumping. But we discovered to warm up the water first (without formula), immediately mix in gelmix and then place it in the bottle warmer for another couple of minutes, and then add formula. We prep all the bottles first thing in the morning (just the gelmix with water) and leave it sitting on the counter until we need it and then add in the formula. Be patient with it and give it a try! I’m so thankful for this product.

Does what it says- thickens the feed and helped my infant with reducing his spit up.. however, his constipation was so bad that we just traded one issue for another. I read that this could happen and usually resolves around 2 weeks, but that wasn’t the case for us. It never resolved and was causing him horrible GI pains. Ultimately we discontinued using.
