We switched to Similac Isomil Soy, and it did wonders!  We also had cereal in his bottle, and he was on Zantac.  Now he's almost 7 mos....no more cereal or Zantac and he is doing great!

Do you have a wegde in the crib to prop the baby up so she isn't laying flat? I also think sometimes sleeping on the belly is better for ones with acid reflux. Some babies only nap for short times. and sometimes you will have to walk away and let her scream...she probably isn't rolling yet so can you prop her sitting up on the couch or chair so she won't choke on her spit?

atoes33107...im thinking about changeing the formula but the doc said it has nothing to do with the formula...and im thinking about calling him and telling him that i dont think the axid is working...did u ever use gost milk formula?!?!?!? i hear its the closest to breast milk????  EVTHING4REASON....i would invest in the wedge but she only will fall asleep in my arms when im rocking her the second i put her down she starts screaming!!! she wont sleep on her belly because she really strong and she rases her head pushes up with the arms...she did rall over at the doctors office for the first time t lmost 2 months!!!! i tryed putting her on her belly she thinks its play time!!!!

We never used the goat's milk formula.  We started with Similac Organic, then the Similac Advance Early Shield, and now the soy.  The ped. just said that some baby's stomachs aren't ready for the cow's milk-based formula.  She also said that most babies transition from the soy to regular milk just fine.  You can change without your ped's approval, but I did wait for it.  I just kept on calling and asking about the fussiness, and she finally told me to try.  
Good luck!

The enfamil Ar lipril is pretty good in heling with acid reflux the doctor thinks thats what my son has so I switched for similac advanced early shield and it seems to helping a little bit. So try the Enfamil Ar I think the concetracted one works better than the powder though..good luck

my little girl has acid reflux too - she spits up tons but is pretty happy. we give her similac isomil too which has been great and she gets a rice cereal bottle at night and sleeps on her belly.
