I think premies are much more likely to have reflux--I think it is from the connection between the esophagus(sp?) and stomach isn't as strong as a full term infant. Caitlin was born at 37 weeks but was iugr (check my siggy). We ended up on soy formula. She still has her days but she is sooooo much better. The doctor said that most babies that have trouble with regular formula still have the problem with soy because the protiens are soo similar. Well, it made a difference with my little girl. I don't know if you have tried different formulas or not but that is the route we took, meds didn't help. From what I understand, the meds just make it to where it doesn't hurt the baby as much, protects their throat but doesn't actually stop the reflux. Maybe different meds are different.
Hope my ramblings helped! LOL, if you have questions let me know!
