We tried it all, and unfortunately had to use medication to control her reflux. It was a miracle when the medication kicked in a few weeks later–we felt someone traded our baby for a new one! Hang in there, it can be a rough ride. Our now 16 month old is the happiest toddler I’ve ever met, so colic/reflux babies don’t stay surly forever! She is also medication-free. It was tough thinking she would be on medication, but our sanity was fraying. It was the best decision we ever made.

Here are some things that helped a bit, but overall, medication was the cure for her. I suspect if she had colic they would have worked wonders. Baby’s Bliss Gripe Water, Hyland’s Colic Tablets, acidophilus, keep upright at all times and put head of crib on an incline, no jostling as it can cause a reflux flare-up, don’t feed too much at once–more frequent but small feedings, hold upright when feeding, give lots of physical touch, pacifier helps soothe (sucking action hinders refluxing), and talk to your doctor about using medication and seeing a pediatric gastroenterologist if necessary. We had to go this route, and it changed our lives. Hang in there colic and reflux mommies, it gets better!
