None of these suggestions is guaranteed to soothe your baby. They may even make her crankier. But all are worth trying before calling a doctor. Your pediatrician can tell you whether your baby really has reflux, and he can help you ease your baby's suffering. For starters, he may prescribe medication.
Some babies respond right away to antacids or acid-blockers, and that's the end of the problem.
Ideally she won't have to take them for more than a month or so before the reflux tapers off. Drugs that work to keep things moving downward in the digestive tract are also available. If the signature symptoms of reflux are all there, a good pediatrician will find the treatment that best settles the uprisings without side effects. In the event that drugs don't help and your baby's misery continues, the doctor might do further tests to be sure reflux is the problem. This process can be very stressful and uncomfortable for your baby, but it's sometimes necessary as a last resort.
