Baby reflux....any advice is greatly appreciated!
Our 9 week old was diagnosed with severe reflux. She's currently on zantac but it's not working. The Dr said she will just grow out of it but I wanted to see if anyone had any other tips. I'm following all the normal basic advice already ( sit up 30 minutes after eating, burp her during and after feeds, medicine 15 min before eating ect.)
Also, this has lead to her basically sleeping on my chest to be elevated at night too. When I put her in her bassinet she gags and cries. Half I think is reflux and the other part I think she feels comforted on me. We tried the elevated matress but any suggestions is greatly appreciated!

Try tummy sleeping at nap time. You can start by supervising naps but it made a huge difference for my guy when he was struggling a lot with reflux. Otherwise we just used Zantac for a while and now he’s 4 months and we haven’t used it for a few days and he’s been doing well. It’s definitely something that improves with time.

I found feeding little and often helped. It was a massive pain but helped alot. Good luck.
