Hello Tassie Devil. Char had really bad reflux at first, so I used a thickener made by Karicare which was just added to her bottles at the time of the feed to make them thicker. When she got a little constipated I just gave her a little olive oil off a spoon and this helped. I have tried many different formula's for her and now on Karicare Gold, which is a thick formula anyway, she is much better. I have learned to feed her slightly elevated and to burp her straight away. Then I leave her lying own for an hour at least to let her tummy settle before play or tummy time.
There are plenty of things a Dr can prescribe as well, though I have resisted as Char is still putting on weight at a good rate and when she seems extra irritable from pain I give her a Brauer homeopathic calming solution. But nothing will stop them from spitting up if they have reflux, so just have plenty of handtowels at the ready to mop up spills.
I hope this helps.
