Bottle or acid reflux?

Repost from Facebook:

DD is spitting up now after every bottle.  Last night DH was feeding her and after just a little under 1 oz she spit up through her mouth AND nose.  We normally burp her after every 1 1/2 oz and she still spits up after that little bit. We use the tommee tippee bottles.  I thought I'd like them but I don't know if they are good for her.  I got them because I was nursing before and I wanted something to mimic it.  I have the slow flow nipple for them.  She grunts after eating a lot too.  Never at any other time. Anyone recommend other bottles that work well for the spit up?  I wanted to try before a doc just goes stamping her as acid reflux.

We were having the same issue with spit up...Gabe did it a LOT!! He spit up at every feeding. He arched his back, coughed, grunted, refused to eat at times..etc. We tried literally about 5 different bottles(Medela, Playtex Vent air, Dr. Browns, Avent). The ones that work the best for us are the Playtex drop-ins. He was started on Zantac about 2 weeks ago and it has dramatically helped. He hardly ever spits up and when he does I consider it to be a "normal" amount for a baby. It literally started working the very first day.

We have been using Dr.Browns, and she is still spitting a lot. We are doing Zantac 3 X a day.  Probably going to call the Doc and ask for Prevacid.  We bought Evenflo and a .97 parents choice Wal-mart bottle. The Wal-mart bottle worked the best, lol!!  We might try the drop-ins though now that I hear reflux babies are having success with those!!  Good luck.  I keep the bulb syringe handy just in case I need to clean out her nose.  It is very upsetting though isn't it?  Good luck!!
