Im going through the same thing and its been 2 months that im fighting this. Im exclusive bf too. We tried Zantac and prevacid and it wasnt stong enough. Now we are giving him nexium that its a bit better. But they told me it can takr up to 3 weeks to see some drastic change. (Im on my 2nd week). If after that it still not working, Im seing a nutritionist to do a special diet without dairy products or any elements that the baby can have an intolance. ( because a lot of babies with reflux its just a question of intolerance on things that you eat) . As well, we are seing a osteopath for babies and it helps too with his reflux. The osteopath is trying to work and specific bones and muscle that is connect with the digestion system. I wanted to do the same thing , stop bf and go on formula but a lot of mom told me that sometimes thay dont change anything or it just get worst because it wasnt a tolerance issue. So, I abandoned that idea since I work really hard to be able to bf. I know its not easy to see our baby suffers but I really think your breastmilk is the best thing and its easier to digest. But again, if the formula will make a change for you, go ahead! Nobody is allow to judge you.. you are the mom and you know best . Good luck!
Should I switch?
So I have been successfully exclusively bf my little on for over two months now. After she turned about two weeks old she had been a very messy, squirmy eater. Come to find out she was diagnosed with silent reflux. So she has been taking Zantac every night. I have been doing the shorter more frequent feeds, but she still seems so uncomfortable while she feeds. She grunts, squirms, detaches herself. She never gets a good long feed. What if my bm isn't good enough for her?, as I will never know what it is I'm eating that could possibly be making her this way. She passes so much gas and even has poop explosions (only) while she is nursing. I'm considering trying out baby formula to see if I notice a change in her. What formulas have any of you tried after bf, and have they been working? How did u feel about transitioning? Because thinking about it shatters my heart. She has been the only successful baby I have lasted bf for this long as I have failed the first 3 times 😔 the only reason I'm considering it is because I don't want her in any pain or discomfort and I will do anything to make that better for her.

This sounds like my son. He squirms..detaches alot.. Spits up ALOT now, diaper explosions which i was told was normal and defintely has gas. He burps after feeding. But he is so tense while nursing ive always wondered why. I didnt recall this with my other son, but that was 7 years ago.

Yes that is my baby. She does all of that except she does t spit up so much. Just A LOT of gas. Poop explosions 😕
I would talk to your pediatrician. I highly doubt any formula would be better than your breastmilk. Does your milk flow too fast? Does she choke or gulp? Do you burp her?

I was going to suggest that you had an overactive letdown.

She used to choke when she was smaller but now she knows how to handle the flow very well now. I burp her also
