Acid reflux help!

Question

My baby has BAD reflux, I’m talking multiple outfit changes for both me and her throughout the day. I can’t keep a clean crib sheet on for less than a day type of bad. We’ve tried what seems like all the remedies, but does anyone have anything they’ve found to work for their babies?! 
I just want relief for her she seems so uncomfortable from this and I’m trying everything to help her:(

Answer

You can try this. It worked for my baby. But you can try burping the baby in between each feed. Like literally stop burp and continue feeding and burp again.

Answer

My pediatrician has told us to elevate/incline my baby’s head while feeding him and burp him frequently throughout the feeding. We are also supposed to keep him inclined for at least 15 minutes after the feeding. Without fail, whenever I have laid him down earlier than that, he spits up or vomits. Ever since following this advice, my baby hardly ever spits up or vomits anymore!

Answer

We’ve been using this and I feel like it’s been helping a lot. Just have to be consistent. Also if you do decide to try. The recommended doses can be broken up into smaller doses since your lil one is prone to spitting it all up.

Answer

Not sure where your located but I’ve had two babies with severe acid reflux - I propped up their crib (The hospital suggested one of these but I put blocks under the legs of the crib, out of baby’s reach etc) and changed their formula to a acid reflux (AR) one. It’s available in the supermarket or pharmacy here (Aus) it’s basically normal formula with a thickening agent in it so it’s just thicker and after a few minutes of baby drinking it forms a layer over the top (inside the stomach) so it’s a lot harder for baby to vomit it back up.

Answer

Not sure where in the world you are, but in the UK you would be prescribed Carobel first to thicken the milk and help keep it down. It can be bought without prescription too. If you feel there’s acid with the reflux causing her heartburn, speak to the doctor as you may need omeprazole medication to calm the stomach and lessen the reflux.
