What formula for reflux baby?

We suspect my boys are developing some reflux. My pedi has me switching from Enfacare to Gentlease. If there are no changes, she wants to add Zantac and maybe rice cereal next week.

If your baby has reflux, what formula are they on. 

Thanks!

Re: What formula for reflux baby?

  • We have seen a huge difference with Enfamil AR.  We tried them all and she went from gaining less than 1/2 an ounce a day to more than 3/4 of an ounce a day due to the reduced amount of spit up.  I love it.  She still spits up a lot but it's much less!!!!!!!
  • We just started using formula a few weeks ago and we started on Gentlease. It's pretty watery since its partially broken down, so it's very easy to digest, but also easy to spit up. Just something to keep in mind. We actually thicken her night time feeds so she can lay down. This works great. I've heard great things about the Enfamil Ar which I guess comes already thickened. But since we use generic, this would cost us an extra 10-15 bucks per can, so we just thicken ourselves =)

  • DD was on Enfamil AR. They started her on that in the NICU so I'm not sure what she was on before. I know they would add rice cereal to her formula to help her.
