My son Aiden has pretty bad reflux and it definitely hit it's worse around the 2-3 month marker. We started on the zantac but quickly wound up on baby Prevacid and that has helped tremendously. We also use a special Similac formula called Alimentum. Crazy expensive but between that and the prevacid my baby was a different person in a week. The spitting up definitely got much better around 5 months when he started only wanting the bigger bottles every 4 hours instead of 3 ounces every 2.5 hours. Definitely tell the Ped. if this isn't working. We had to try 3 different medicines before we found the right combination. If it's a particularly bad day, you can also give the babies Mylanta. Buy just reg. strength reg. flavor and you can give them 1ml. Check with your Ped. but mine recommended this up to 3 times a day. Just don't do it within 2 hours of the prevacid or zantac b/c they will conteract each other. Good luck!! It does get much better once you find the right medicine and formula for your babies. The crying and grunting will stop and you will start to see lots of smiles!
