Sheela, my son had reflux for the first four months. Started about two weeks old and lasted until he was four months old. His pediatrician recommended keeping him upright for 20 minutes after feedings, so the food processes down and not sitting flat on his tummy just waiting to come back up. Also, in their beds roll or fold up some blankets for an incline. Again, laying them at an incline will help to keep the milk processing down. Also, be adament about their burpings. Ethan was and is a trouble burper. Try all the different positions you can think of and make sure they give you big strong burps, the little ones don't always get the job done. Ethan was a projectile vomiter from the start. It made him a little fussy here and there but he never went through a weight loss or refused feedings. They may also recommend a thicker formula. Ethan was on Enfamil AR for a while but that didn't help him but did help his cousin who is a day older.
