When did reflux go away for your LO? he was weaned from his meds by 5 or 6 months, thats when they say it usually goes away by

Bfing or formula, did it make a difference? we didn't notice it until he was about 7 weeks, and he was full formula by then. we think we noticed it because he was put on an antibiotic for whopping cough, and it may have just made it worse.

Did cutting diary or soy make a difference? he was on a milk based formula and did fine with it once on his meds. but we did use a 'gentle' formula

Any other tips besides swing, elevating mattress, etc? keeping him upright for about 30 mins after feeding defintely helped.

@regberadaisy:
Our LO was severe and we were in highest dose of Zantac allowable for his age/weight.
Ped said no Prilosec because it was compounded and it could be (not likely but it could) contaminated an he didn't want to risk that with a newborn.
We were on a non dairy diet from 2w old so no, it made no difference.
We basically had to resort to adding rice cereal to bottles (1t to every oz).
And we would few him an then keep him upright for about 25mins with a bib on.
3m he outgrew the severity of it and about 4.5m he outgrew it entirely. He only spits up now when someone feeds him too much (daddy) or when someone plays rough with him right after a feeding (ahem, daddy..)

My lo is doing really well on Prevacid. He has thickened feedings with Enfamil AR which comes already thickened. The idea is that it's harder to come up. He's 12 weeks adjusted and still definitely having reflux, but he does not have the oral aversion he used to have.

Also he eats smalls meals more frequently.
