My 4 week old was just diagnosed with acid reflux and put on medication. Any suggestions, she is exclusively bf and sometimes screams in pain, even when nursing.  She also will only ssleep 1-2 hour chunks at night. I'm am exhausted and desperate. Any suggestions or advise are welcome!

    My LO had reflux an the meds really helped. Sit LO up right for 20 minutes after eating, put a pillow under crib mattress so LO sleeps at an incline. Maybe try limiting acidic foods that you eat like tomatoes and oranges.

    If you are BF by bottle sit her up while feeding her and Sit her up for 30 mins after eating. My LO is taking Zantac twice a day. I stick it in the bottle and EBF the rest of the day.DD doesn't seem to like it straight.

    You're going to be so happy with the meds! My girls all were on Zantac three times per day. I notice a little improvement after a few days but after a week they were soooooo happy. PP all gave great advice. I'd add to monitor LO closely. Zantac is so sens
