Having a reflux bub can be so complicated! Finding out what works... I used Mylanta for a few weeks with Matilda, we used 1ml before her morning & evening feeds. I did it within 15 minutes of feeding her. I found that going onto Karicare HA AR helped better than just AR as the HA is partially digested so it doesn't stick around in the belly as long iykwim?
Matilda was pretty bad and we wound up on Zantac from the Dr's perscription and that helped too.
I found that keeping her head upright at all times, giving her 30 minutes upright after a feed is still vital and trialling different things for a few days at a time to see if they work before giving up. I would try something new for 3-5 days and then made a decision, I found using Marina's mixture in her bottles helped as it helps settle reflux. I also found that using too many things at one time didn't help 8-[ I would only be able to settle her in her sling (hug-a-bub) and then later on her belly. It gets better...then worse...then better again and then eventually it goes. She's eight months old and now off medications HTH!
HTH!
