Reflux moms - congestion?

DS is 5 wks.  For the past week, he has been congested - though, its at its worst each day starting right at about 4 am.  He also has reflux (though not too severe) and started Zantac yesterday.

It seems like the congestion is waking him up early each morning.  I've tried elevating the mattress in his bassinet, but - that doesn't help much.  We do try saline drops, but usually before bed and, like I mentioned, this starts getting worse right in the early morning hours.

 

How else can we deal?  Is he always going to have this problem with reflux?

    Have you used your nasal aspirator after putting a few drops in to loosen things up? My son has reflux and gets pretty congested. We put a couple drops of saline in his nose then use the aspirator to get the stuff out, it seems to help him and I have to do this every couple of days. As far as it going away, I couldn't tell you on that.
