Possible reflux or CMPA and SMA soya...?

Hello I'm looking for some tips please, I'm struggling! LO is 12 weeks old and since he was born has had some kind of stomach/reflux issues. He fights his bottles - won't drink more than an oz or maybe 2 at a time - and is really uncomfortable and sad afterwards, bringing up some milk after every feed. He's been on Aptamil Comfort since he was 3 weeks old, we've had baby Gaviscon which didn't seem to help, now we've been on Omeprazole for the last 4 weeks and that's not made much difference either so I'm wondering if it's something to do with the milk.. so today I bought some SMA Soya and tried that - the first bottle he guzzled down a couple of oz and was fine - the second one he started and then screamed and screamed like it was making him feel worse - in the end I went back to the Aptamil and he had some of that then went to sleep.
Sorry I know this is long, I'm just so worn out with him fighting every feed and hardly sleeping etc etc and I don't know what to try next... Have heard rave reviews about Kendamil organic, and about goats milk formula, just don't know what to do next... Please help.. any tips or hand holds would be very welcome

I would ask the GP for a trial of a dairy and soya free formula.

Have you checked for things like tongue tie which could be causing the reflux?
Does he have any other symptoms of cmpa than reflux?
My daughter settled on lansoprazole for her reflux so maybe speak to your gp to see if there is anything else you can try for the reflux along with exploring possible allergies.
I am using nannycare for my second after a dreadful experience with cmpa and reflux with my first. Whilst not suitable if a child does have cmpa, so far my second child seems well settled on it and doesn't have any obvious reflux symptoms yet.
