My dd2 was probably about 5/6 weeks old when she started getting it - it didnt help her though to be honest I jsut found that she was also bringing that back up too!

you need to keep them upright for quit some time. i found it was an hour with my guzzleguts DS at that age.

my ds problem was he was very hungry and wanted to guzzle to much for his little belly so the feeds were made less ounces but fed more often winded after each ounce and once bottle was finished he had to be sat upright for 10 mins before being layed back down

also small pillow was placed under moses/cot mattress so his head was always slightly elevated by the time he was 6 mths he was feeding the right amount and sickness stopped but we were advised to wean at around 4 mths not our choice but paeds choice but we only added some baby rice didnt wean fully onto solids until 8 mths but found he was much better and projectile vomit had stopped

We had Infant Gaviscon from about 12 wks to 13 months. Fabulous stuff. DD slept for first time after having it.

Also I put a dictionary under the two posts of the cot nearest to her hed so it was on an incline. And kept her as upright as poss. Try a baby bjorn style sling. very good for this. Good luck!
