Posted by Kari I looked online, and found an article that I agreed with on parenting.com. Here is the link and a few quotes I highlighted for you. Good luck http://www.parenting.com/parenting/baby/article/0,19840,1052599,00.html Keep your baby upright and quiet after feeding. Sit with your baby on your lap with his head nestled against your chest. Keep him in this position for at least thirty minutes after a feeding. Offer smaller feedings frequently. Here's my reflux rule of thumb: Feed your baby twice as often, half as much. It stands to reason that if a smaller volume of milk enters the stomach, it will be digested faster and there will be less to spit back up. Feed tummy-friendly milk. If formula-feeding, use a hypoallergenic formula as recommended by your baby's doctor. Besides being tolerated better by sensitive intestines, some of these formulas are digested more quickly so they remain in the stomach for a shorter time.

I ended up with one twin developing colic and one with a slight case of acid reflux. My pediatrician told me to try different formulas as well and we tried 3-4 before finding the two different ones that worked well with each baby. We tried each one for 5 days and if it didn’t work, we switched. I remember using Nestle Supreme – with comfort proteins to help them digest it better and also another kind that was marked AR, specifically for acid reflux. Another thing to consider is trying a soy based formula if all else fails…
