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

i feel bad for you and your son, try to lift the head end of his crib, or help him sleep with his head elevated (do not bend his neck with extra pillows), we tried sleeping ours in a car seat for sometime, good luck

Chronic heartburn is usually from acid reflux - stomach acid is getting past the little valve and into your esophagus. You also should know some natural ways to treat your heartburn. Learn them here https://bitly.im/aMADC
The most immediate thing you can do is to stop drinking coffee and cola. Smoking is not good either, but that might be harder to stop. Don't over-eat. Don't lie down too soon after eating. Don't burp too much - this carries acid up with the burp.

The medications for acid reflux not only stop the symptoms but prevent and repair damage to the lining of their throat. No natural remedy can do that. I suggest you pump as much as possible and keep him on meds.
