Question:
Any natural cures of acid reflux in 6 month old?

My son is a 10 week 4 day premature baby..he has acid reflux or so his pedaric doctor says so he pukes up any thing he eats more so on breast milk than on formula..until acouple of days ago then the formula started cumming up with progectial vomiting the entire 6 oz bottle. Took him to dr today and dr said that it was his reflux stated that he thought he would out grow the desiese but instead he out grew the dose of medicine he then increased his meds.even before the new problem he still threw up at feedings.I have had to slow down how offten I breast feed him due to the breast milk being to thin to stay down and increase the formula but the meds do not stop the reflux.is there any thing to stop the reflux when meds dont work. I have spoken to his dr and his home health nurse both say that the reflux will get better we just have to wait. I am a mother of 7 children 4 of them were born severly premature like him and the meds for reflux stoped it... my milk suppply is decreasing

Answer: Please don't give him cider vinegar, it is acidic and will aggravate the reflux. Try giving him small amounts of formula more often instead of 3-4 feedings per day, make them smaller feedings 6-8 times per day. when you are feeding make sure he isn't laying flat, but on an angle with his feet lower. Also make sure his diapers and clothing are not tight. After feeding don't lay him down right away, put him in his baby seat. it won't hurt him to stop breast feeding if the formula works better.I have had acid reflux for years and I have never vomited like your son. Projectile vomiting is not normally a symptom of acid reflux. You should go back to your pediatricians and ask him to check for something other than acid reflux.
