Hi,
I think it depends on how bad it is. I couldn't allow my baby to suffer that much and it took awhile to understand what was wrong and then to find the help.

I would think if you could help you mr baby by adjusting position etc then it would be a milder version. We did everything we could think of and Jessica would scream for 5-6 hours straight. She would have sweat pouring out of her, arms and legs going the whole time, she scratched and pinched me. Her voice went hoarse. Her body was always rigid and she wouldn't sleep. Only a few hours in a 24 hour period broken into intervals.

She was put on medication and it wasn't enough. The poor little thing brought up blood in her vomit. Changed paed and finally got the right meds. She still cries during feeds and wants me to hold her all day long but thankfully she is getting better.

Anyway I've copped unhelpful comments even from the pharmacy assistant and I would think do you really think I'd give a tiny baby medication if she didn't need it. Uggh add to that the anti losec bandwagon and it used to upset me.

Go with your gut, you know what your baby needs but not all reflux is the same.
