PEPPERMINT WATER....take regular peppermint candy, break into small pieces, place in warm water in baby bottle...shake till dissolved....give ounce at a time....i say baby bottle cause i always kept it made up for quickness..worked wonders with both of mine....alway keep the candy handy, in car, diaper bag, etc u can alwasy break a sliver and add it to water anywhere anytime......just try it please!! worked better than anything i tried for tummy troubles..also seemed to relax the baby....my kids loved it.... also u can place the baby to sleep in the carrier then place the carrier anywhere...safe sleeping position pls try it..

I know just how horrible it is to see your baby suffer with this. I gave my girl mashed avocardo, banana, pumpkin and sweet potato. I also added a thickner to her baby formula (they sell the thickners at most chemists) and you can also add it to your breast milk. My girl had severe acid reflux too and was put on LOSEC but wasn't on it for long. Also keeping your baby upright for 30 mins after feeds helps a great deal. I elevated the top half (where her head lays) of her cot mattress about 4 inches to help reduce the reflux. Hope this helps ;)

High fiber foods... rice, apples! stay away from GRAPE juice that was the worst!

i feed my daughter greber baby food, and yobaby yogurt and baby cereal.. those are the only thing that don't really bother her's.. Acid Reflux sucks for kids.. Both of my kids have it.. it is hard to find food... I also check the acid in everything to see how much is in it.. Hope this helps.. Otherwise u can always ask your doctor.. thats what i did with my son..

The best thing is rice cereal. It coats the stomach and esphagus. Your not suppost to put it in there milk but if you do alittle at a time it will help.
