Reflux Baby - When does it get easier?

Question

My 11.5 week old has reflux and is on Prevacid (we tried Zantec first and it didn't help). She sleeps in 2.5-3 hr stretches at night, waking up to either eat or her gas has gotten the best of her (we also give her Mylicon and baby probiotics to try and help with the gas). I was wondering for other reflux baby mamas, when did your little ones start sleeping better/for longer stretches? She's a very happy, smiley, and vocal baby during the day - just wondering when the nights will get more comfortable for her. Thanks!!

Answer

My reflux baby got better around 3-4 months. It seemed like the longest months ever, but it will get better. I found a bottle of her Zantac the other day and I almost had a PTSD moment 😜.

Answer

A chiropractor specializing in infants can help her. Did wonders for my dd. Started taking her at 6 weeks old.

Answer

It got significantly better at 6-7 months when we started solids and when she was able to sit up by herself. She's always been a bad sleeper so I can't comment on that, but her spitting up seemed to just improve overnight.

Answer

right around 5 months i slowly stopped the nexium and he seemed okay. he was no longer botheres at all by it. have you tried raising the head of the crib? its what helped my little one sleep the best. i just rolled up a towel and put ut under the mattress.

Answer

Once we propped him up at night to sleep (leechco podster), it got better. I say he was sleeping relatively soundly at around 4-5 months.

Answer

So when my daughter started solids around six or seven months it got a lot easier (she also could sit up on her own by then which helps a lot). my doctor always recommended propping her up with a wedged pillow to help ease any of the discomfort too.

Answer

Prevacid is the best! Around 4 mths ours got a lot better. Around 5/6 mths when she was able to sit unassisted it was a whole new world! At 8 mths she's now actually off of it and doing well 😃

Answer

We did Pepcid for my daughter and gripe water seemed to helped a lot too! We also tried to keep her propped upright after feeds. And I know a lot of people are in the fence but we had her sleep in a rock and play...doctor approved.
