He was changed to alimentum formula by similac and that helped for awhile. The biggest help was getting the Dr. Brown's bottles. They cost a lot but they are well worth it in the long run. My baby is now on the Lactose free milk too and he is like a different baby. Just experiment and see what works. Buy one bottle and get free samples of formula at the doctors and experiment. Just remenber it takes about 4-5 days to see a difference because of the formula so don't give up one formula too soon. The other formula has to be got rid in your babies system.<br><b>References : </b><br> My baby had acid reflux from the beginning too.

My daughter's reflux kept causing her Pneumonia and she ended up having NIssen Fundo Plication.<br><b>References : </b><br> I think that Zantac might work also there are different formula’s for baby’s with reflux.

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:04:59 +0000 http://www.cedricnunn.com/infant/what-are-the-symptoms-of-infant-acid-reflux#comment-2265 I went through this same thing -- I thought my baby had acid reflux, I read the list of symptoms, etc., but after some research I realized that all babies have these symptoms, to some extent. Go talk to your doctor, but at 1 week old I would not be so quick to put her on medication. A lot of this is stuff that they just outgrow with a little bit of time.<br><b>References : </b><br> I went through this same thing — I thought my baby had acid reflux, I read the list of symptoms, etc., but after some research I realized that all babies have these symptoms, to some extent.
