Is it safe to give my baby medication for acid reflux?

Yes: As prescribed by your physician, reflux medication is very safe. There is a small risk of abnormal movements, and platelet disorders, but I have never seen it. The risk from erosive esophagitis, poor nutrition, and weight loss generally outweigh the small risk due to the reflux medications. Make sure you are also following reflux precautions, like keeping the baby upright after eating.
