Formula change or reflux?

CRGreen14

My DD (2 weeks old) pulls her legs up a lot and screams and cries in pain. It is mostly at night when this happens. Maybe because the only time she is laid flat all day? Dr gave us a few options- we can try similac sensitive or alimentium. Or try using 1/4t of maylox or mylanta twice a day for reflux. It's hard because we aren't sure what's causing it yet. What avenue would you try first?

It could be silent reflux. Our DD #3 had that. She would cry the most at night. Arch her back...and never really spit up.

Our newest DD#4 was extremely gassy at about 2-3 weeks and we switched to soy. DR had us try it first before we tried that expensive formula that starts an N?? Last resort would be reflux meds.

But the soy worked wonders. And we also use colic calm and gas drops when needed.

Try the sensitive first otherwise with my DD we had to do soy formula
