About reflux syrup, I need to be clear: I can't recommend any specific brand or ingredient, because baby's age, weight, type of reflux (physiological or pathological), and accompanying symptoms — all require different treatment.
General pediatric consensus: Reflux in babies under one year is often physiological — meaning it comes from the stomach valve not being fully mature and passes without medication. If baby is gaining weight well, seems happy, and only spits up occasionally, treatment isn't needed.
Your pediatrician may consider reflux medication in these situations:
- Pain during feeding, arching backward, refusing breast or bottle
- Slowed or stopped weight gain
- Frequent and forceful vomiting (projectile)
- Restless sleep, frequent waking
If your baby shows any of these, your pediatrician will examine and may start appropriate medication at the right dose and type. I recommend against over-the-counter medications and advise against trying herbal drops or additives to breast milk without doctor guidance.
