p Harmeet replied. Hi

Reflux is most often the result of a weak or fluky esophageal sphincter, the valve connecting the esophagus to the stomach. Most babies with reflux grow out of it in their first year, as the sphincter muscle gets stronger. But that's no reason to take reflux lightly. All that stomach acid pushing up into the esophagus (in adults we call it heartburn) can scar the throat and, in severe cases, make it hard to swallow. Some babies lose their appetite because of the pain.Try holding her in a more vertical position while feeding, and burp her during and after feedings. If u r doc really-2 thinks its necessary then only give medication. There always are the side effects. This was all taken from an article.
I can understand what u r going through.
My daughter had it from the age of 2 months. She was just 2.5 kg when she was born. Now she is 13 months old and her wt is 9kg. My doc said that she will give medication only if dd cries atleast 50%of awake time and if there was no wt gain. Since her wt gain was normal we never gave her med.

Try giving her more solids then liquids.
If u r from US give her gerber foods, cereals.
I hope this help.
Let me know how she is doing
