Yes! Our doctor said to keep her up right after feeding for 15-20 min and that she’ll grow out of it. As long as she’s not experiencing pain it should be fine!

Yes, my son had terrible AR. He ended up having to have a certain formula with nexium put in it. Talk with your dr, and make sure you voice your concerns. I changed two drs because they said it was "just colic" finally found a dr tho listened and sent us to a specialist. Good luck! Those days were soo hard.

Most babies have reflux like symptoms because their esophageal sphincters are immature.
In some cases it’s more serious, but you can try keeping baby upright for 15-20 after a feed. And burping halfway through and at the end helps too. Help move gas naturally by moving baby’s body as well.

As others have said, keeping the baby upright for 15-20 minutes after feedings can help. I do suggest that for overnight you set an alarm on your phone or watch to reduce the risk of falling asleep while hold the baby and an accident happening.
I’ve had some clients have their babies medicated for the reflux as well. Definitely talk to your pediatrician to get some more insight on your options!
