Any babies still with reflux?

We are nearing the 7 month mark, with no progress or end in sight with the reflux. We have slowly worked our way to 5 or 6 bottles of 6 oz formula, and he's eating 3 meals a day. I know We are supposed to continue working toward fewer larger sized bottles, but he's spitting up after every meal. Is it stupid of me to want to drop his bottle size down again to 4 or 5 ounces? (Additional info: Dr says he looks good in size. We've tried all the acid reflux meds. None have helped. He's not on anything right now.)

    We still have reflux too. L is currently on Prevacid. She is not spitting up too much now, but still underweight. At the last doctor's appointment, she was finally up to the 25th percentile. L is breastfed for part of the time, but takes pumped milk 3 times a day. One is a 4 ounce bottle and then 2 6 ounce bottles. When she spits up, it is after the 6 ounce ones so we have talked about decreasing the amount as well.

    At his 6 month appointment, the doctor said he had bumped up to the 38th percentile in weight (big jump from his 23rd percentile at 4 months). She seemed pleased. She didn't seem too worried. He has always spit up A LOT. But he started crawling two days ago. And it's just nonstop spit now lol. Poor guy. Sometimes it hurts him like a painful belch but most of the time it doesn't seem to bother him. It just breaks my heart to watch him go through it:(

    I'm curious to see if there are many other reflux babies spit up more as they get more active (I.e. crawling, scooting, sitting, standing, walking). That certainly was the case for us. The doctor didn't say much about it when I asked her. We are now back on the Zantac. Hoping it doesn't constipated him like last time. At least we can give juice for that now.
