My LOs don't have reflux but all of my friends whose LO have had it swear by the Rock-n-Play for sleeping.

Awh, reflux is so awful My LO was on baby Zantac for the first four months of her life. We kept her upright for at least 15 minutes after each feeding - we found that if we did that, we could lie her flat in the basinet and she was okay. On especially challenging nights, we had her sleep in her car seat or bouncer. It got a lot better by the time she was about 4.5 months old, and we were able to stop the meds around 5 months. Good luck! Hope they feel better soon.

Our biggest help was not putting her flat on her back after eating, and it sounds like you're already doing that. So glad that you got him diagnosed, hopefully the meds will help!

We used Gerber Good Start Gentle. I think there are other formulas out there that are better for reflux, but this worked good for us because she also had constipation issues so we couldn't use anything too thick.

My son had BAD reflux when he was a baby. So much so that we ended up taking him to the emergency room in the middle of the night because he was spitting up all night long. He used to spit out of his nose all the time and it always freaked me out. He also would spit up in the middle of the night and make these choking/gurgling noises so I would basically stay up all night monitoring him like a hawk. We put him on Zantac which helped. We also did a lot of exercises to push out his gas. I think the gas made it a lot worse. We did bicycle legs and lots of tummy time. For sleep, we bought him the nap nanny, which we LOVED and it was a life saver for us. It allowed us to get some sleep because it reduced the night time choking/gurgling. I also nursed him in a more upright position and held him upright afterwards for 15 mins. I basically never laid him down! He outgrew it at around 3 or 4 months. But those 3/4 months were so hard!
