Hey I would try the soy without them saying. I did not ask mine I did it.. It cant hurt her.. And its just as good for them... And maybe it will help. It is worth a shot to get some rest...

I was having the throw up problem too. First I changed bottles to Playtex nursers much less air in the tummy. I would also burp him at least 2x a bottle. This all helped but he still has some issues. I'm talking to a new dr about reflux. He will only sleep in his carseat now but I have gotten him a boppy like pillow I can strap him into to hold him upright when he sleeps this helps too.

HTH I was at a loss too my dd were so easy in comparison.

If you are nursing, I would try adjusting your diet to get rid of any potential reflux triggers, like cabbage, broccoli, etc. Also, consider going without dairy for awhile to see if that helps. A lot of moms have told me their babies couldn't tolerate it when they ate dairy while nursing. My dd threw up every time I ate anything with citrus.

If you're bottle feeding, definitely consider switching formulas. I was told by my dd's GI doc that Carnation Good Start is a very good brand that is supposed to be more easily digestible. They also make a soy formula, that is called Al-soy, I believe.

We also used Dr. Brown's bottles. I tried the Playtex nursers and the Vent-aire ones, but the Dr. Brown's worked the best for us. Hold the baby semi-upright while feeding, and keep upright in a swing or bouncer for at least 30 minutes after feeding. Tummy time can also be good if they'll tolerate it because it will help push the air out of the tummy. It may be a little uncomfortable initially though. My dd never seemed to mind, even when she WAS throwing up. (Her twin, however, was a completely different story.) And, burping more frequently should help too. (Of course, if the baby is crying the whole time, like mine used to when I tried this, then they're probably swallowing enough air anyway!)

Sleeping propped up on a Boppy or a wedge under the mattress should help with reflux too. They say elevate the head 30º ideally. Good luck, and I hope you can get this under control soon! (One of my girls has been on Prevacid since birth due to esophageal anomalies, which have been repaired, but she'll probably always have some weakness and reflux.)

My youngest ds had reflux too. One thing my dh and I learned was to feed him until he started to squirm (he would squirm right before he'd break out screaming because of the reflux). When he would start to squirm, we'd take the bottle out and give him the pacifier for a few minutes. Then go back to feeding. We did this cycle feed-pacifier-feed-pacifier-feed until he was done with the bottle. Eating a little at a time did help his reflux and made his feeding much more enjoyable. And always keep him upright after feeding.
The med that finally worked for my ds was prevacid. He was also on carafate which coated his esphogus because it was so irritated from the reflux.
Good luck!

One of my friends had a puker with the projectile vomiting and she switched to Enfamil AR it had added rice starch to help it stay down but IMO would be better than starting cereal too soon.
