overnight I would feed DS lying down. his head was slightly elevated on cloth. I found that if I didn't move him after the feed he would often be ok and sleep without getting upset. if I tried to move him, it seemed to upset the tummy and it would take ages to settle him down.
I haven't heard anybody else say same thing, but maybe worth trying if you have asafe place to lie down to feed.
when feeding other times, I always tried to have his bottom lower than his head
There is already some great advice here. Just wanted to quickly say that yes, the losec takes at least a week to work and maybe longer for it to really get to full effectiveness. I'm not sure about which dummy but I did find a dummy helped as she was sucking on that and it seemed to help stuff stay down better. Day sleeping for my DD2 was non-existent until the Losec really kicked in, and she spent most of her first few months in the sling. I think you probably just need to ride out this stage and hopefully when she is more comfortable the day sleeps will start to appear!
My reflux baby was bad sleeper and was very cranky getting up every hour or so. I was giving him Zantac but not a great help. So, I ended giving him Zantac and after advice of a friend started giving him Babies magic tea. Baby is much better now and sleeps at least three straight hours with less reflux symptoms. Hope he'll get fine completely soon.
