? For mom with babies with reflux

My son is 4 weeks old and last week was diagnosed with reflux. I feel each day is worse with his fussiness. The spitting is better but he won't go down to sleep during the day. So what kind of tricks have u used for getting them down? Thanks

I will admit, my DS slept in the bouncer a lot, or the swing--both he was slightly inclined--once he was on zantac it improved a lot, but he slept in the bouncy a lot. Hang in there!

My DS slept in his car seat for 4 months!

My DS slept in his swing until he was 7 months and yes it was on the entire time

Hang in there though, it is so rough the first few months and little by little it just gets easier.

Once my DS was on the right formula (Nutramigen) & Prevacid, he was like a different baby.

My DD slept in her swing until she turned 6 months!! And like the previous poster...on! :) She was switched to Similac Sensitive RS (now sensitive for spit up) and on Zantac. FYI...not sure on your insurance, but our insurance paid for her formula until 1 year old and it was delivered monthly to our house!! Hang in there, it gets better!
