Does this sound like reflux?

Cooper has been spitting up a lot. Sometimes it is what he just ate, while he is eating, and sometimes it is after and a little digested. 

He also gets really fussy during some of his feeds- usually in the evening. He screams while he is trying to eat, and gets really frantic.  He calms down if I hold him against me, but still roots. Breastfeeding helped the other day, but yesterday he wanted nothing to do with it.

Overnight, he is fine. He eats and burps really well, and I hold him for about 30 mins after, and he goes right to bed- no spit up or fussing.

I'm asking the pediatrician about all this tomorrow, but I wanted opinions anyways. Any suggestions on how to help him out are appreciated! TIA!

Yeah I think so Andrew always fed better at night and 1st thing in the morning even when his reflux was bad.

Ugh. Did anything help it? What will the pediatrician do?  I feel so bad when he screams, it's like he is in pain, and I can't really do anything except hold him...

We see a GI doctor.  He's on Prilosec and was on Miralax to stay regular.  He wasn't going at all on his own and that was making the reflux worse.  He had to sleep on his side at night. It was a challenge.   He got a lot worse if he outgrew his medicine dosage and then we'd bump up the dose to catch up to his weight gain!
