Reflux Precautions: General reflux precautions include feeding in upright position/keeping up 30 min after feeds, elevate head of crib, thicken formula, and limit acidic foods (tomato/citrus based). No lying down w/ bottle and limit large meals/bottles 2 hr before lying down. Medical therapy can include h2 blockers (zantac, pepcid) and ppi's like prevacid (lansoprazole). If not gaining weight well, see pediatrician asap.
