Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Reflux

He was diagnosed with reflux at 5 weeks and has been on Zantac ever since. The pedi suggested switching to Prevacid since the Zantac hasn't seemed to be working. We are on day 3 and things have stayed about the same.
2 weeks ago I had the happiest baby and now every day when awake he just seems so miserable. Only happy while being carried up right. And will only sleep if I have him propped up on my arm lying down.

I'm getting desperate!!
TIA
