Advice - can I change Arlos formula without getting permission from his doctor? I told her last visit I thought he had acid reflux, she said he didn't he was getting air from his bottle & to change it - we did exactly that. He's still throwing up in the back of his mouth and sometimes crying out in pain while eating, today he's super fussy even after eating and threw up while burping him, twice. I want to try out a new formula but I don't know if I need permission. Oh yeah, she said if he does, he'll grow out of it, so I guess in the mean time I'm supposed to let him suffer and be uncomfortable....Maybe I should change doctors.

Also, keep him upright for 45 mins to an hour after each freeing to help.
my baby was dx with reflux at a month old and was on Zantac till 6 months. Babies grow out of it. but not till 6 months or so. If she doesn't want to prescribe him meds, switch doctors! And you do whatever you want in terms of his formula - that's your baby.
My son had reflux and I'd notice him "chewing". He'd arch his back. Scream. Throw up his breast milk, he got meds but out grew it by 5 months. Did the doctor say you have to feed him the current formula? You're the parent. You can change the formula. But check how you're feeding LO as well. Frequent burping. Not too much at once.
you can do what ever u want. I just suggest switching it slowly and giving it time.
@bonniesue, my son was doing the exact same thing as her baby. But my son also has a lactose intolerance and needed soy formula. I did what I felt was best. My pedi isn't home with him to see who he acts, I took it upon myself and he's been the happiest baby since switching. World of difference.
