Does he have a medicine for baby's reflux? Advice/Tips?

28-year-old womana year ago
My 7 week old baby is on the alimentum since 1 week and a half the colic symptoms have extremely diminished/disappeared, on the other hand the reflux symptoms remain (chewing gum, drooling++, heart rising, high pitched noises, difficult to be on his back at night (although he tolerates it well during the day), I have the impression that at the middle of the night 2-3h feedings (it varies each day) the reflux is worse after this feeding. The angled head, more frequent burping, keeping him upright, etc., we already do this.

Good morning, ma'am,
Keep in mind that it may take several weeks to change formulas before we can adequately assess tolerance. You must also take into account that at this age, your baby is still learning to digest on his own, which is not without difficulties :)
You do well with frequent burping and holding the head down. I also suggest avoiding frequent position changes and not putting the baby down for 20 minutes after feedings.
I hope I've put your mind at ease and I'm available if you have any other questions!
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist

Thank you so much for the answer, it's true that we want to see quick changes when we know our baby is uncomfortable.
Happy Holidays!
