Ava has reflux, she would scream in pain a lot at night so the Dr finally put her on Zantac and said if it helps it is reflux and if it does nothing it is colic. thankfully it helped. You can ask your dr for the medicine but if she is just spitting up then the Zantac probably won't help. Ava doesn't scream anymore but still spits up daily. Dr isn't concerned with the spitting up, just the pain she was in. She was also very sensitive to what I would eat. I had to cut out all fattening dairy as well as spicy things like pizza. Ava also arched her back A LOT which is another sign of reflux. She screams in the car at night, evidently reflux can be worse at night and she is really uncomfortable in the car seat, so we try to not go any where in the afternoons or evenings.
With the spitting up you can try and keep baby reclined for 20 minutes after feeding.

Home Care
1. Feed smaller amounts
Overfeeding always makes spitting up worse. If the stomach is filled to capacity, spitting up is more likely. Give your baby smaller amounts (at least 1-ounce less than you have been giving). Your baby doesn't have to finish a bottle. Wait at least 2-3 hours between feedings because it takes that long for the stomach to empty itself.
2. Burp your infant to prevent spitting up
Burp your baby several times during each feeding if possible. Don't interrupt his feeding rhythm in order to burp him. Keep in mind that burping is less important than giving smaller feedings.
3. Positioning
After meals, try to hold your baby in an upright position, using a frontpack, backpack, or swing, for at least 30 minutes. Avoid infant seats because they increase the contact of stomach acid with the lower esophagus. When your infant is in a crib, elevate the head of the bed a bit by putting blocks under the mattress. After your child is over six months old, a walker can be helpful for maintaining an upright posture after meals. To make the walker safe, you should remove the wheels and make sure stairways are closed off securely.
4. Avoid pressure on the abdomen
Avoid tight diapers and clothes, as they put added pressure on the stomach. Don't let people hug your child or play vigorously with him right after meals.
5. Cleaning up
One of the worst aspects of spitting up in the past was the odor. This was caused by the effect of stomach acid on the butterfat in cow's milk. The odor is not present with commercial formulas because they contain vegetable oils. A more common concern is clothing stains from milk spots. Use the powdered formulas; they stain the least.
