Is it better to medicate LO for discomforting reflux so they can keep breast milk down or give them formula specifically for spit up if they can keep that down without medication or the discomfort?

medicate!!!
Breastfeed! Reflux is less common in breastfed babies. In addition, breastfed babies with reflux have been shown to have shorter and fewer reflux episodes and less severe reflux at night than formula-fed babies [Heacock 1992]. Breastfeeding is also best for babies with reflux because breastmilk leaves the stomach much faster [Ewer 1994] (so there?s less time for it to back up into the esophagus) and is probably less irritating when it does come back up
