When did your Lo outgrow it? My little guy is 13 weeks old and it is worse than it has ever been!

My youngest had Reflux. She dealt with it until she was probably 6 months I'm sure that's not what you wanted to hear. However, we were able to combat it with changing her formula and adding in small amounts of cereal to thicken it up.
We did go through probably 10 bibs a day for a while though.
It's rough I'll say that. Good luck!

My son was on reflux meds until 6 months old. He didn't grow out, we got a better diagnosis of MSPI. Once we stopped dairy and soy, he no longer refluxed and we weaned off the meds.

My son is 15 weeks and we're still battling it, but have come a long way. It really flared up around 6-8 weeks, and then with some formula adjustments (he went on a nursing strike at 10 weeks), plus the addition of rice cereal to thicken it more, we are doing so much better. They offered to put him on medication, but said I could try the rice cereal first if I wanted. It was so awful seeing him in pain!

We ended up putting my lo on meds around 3 months old. That helped a lot. She started spitting out the meds at about 5 months, but by then the reflux was slowing down thank goodness. We still had to be careful with putting her on her back after she ate though.

Mine still has it at 16 weeks, although it's getting better. I heard they outgrow it when they can sit up on their own.

We started him on a special formula for reflux recommended by our ped Similac Sensitive Spit Up. It's def done wonders for my DS's reflux.

Lo is 14 weeks, and the past 2 weeks her reflux has peaked. Her dr. Upped her dosage of reflux meds 3 days ago and it seems to have helped. I'm hoping rice cereal may help as well.

My LO had pretty bad reflux and we started her on meds when she was about two months old. We stopped the meds a few weeks ago when she was almost 5 months old, and she's doing fine now, with no spitting up or fussiness. Hopefully your LO will outgrow it soon as well!
