Besides meds and a formula switch

the only thing that helped Tyler was this

Amazon.com: Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Glider - Butter Bunny: Baby

Tyler never slept in his bassinet really...he slept in this and then went to a pack and play after his reflux was better. We rarely laid him flat at all, not even tummy when the reflux was at it's worst.

The switch to Almentum/Nutramidgen also really helped. He's after a while we were able to wean him off the meds, but left him on the formula. Once he started taking milk products like yogurt and cheese, we weaned him onto Good Start. If they haven't put you on a hypoallergetic formula yet, I would at least swtich to Good Start...I've had SO many Mom's tell me it's easier on their tummy's.

Good Luck. PM me if you want any other suggestions. Ty was a happy vomiter, so I can imagine watching a reflux baby that is unhappy is really bad.
