Fussiness or reflux?

DD is just coming up 5 months, had suspicions of reflux for a while (throwing up after every feed, fussiness when laying flat, hating tummy time) we’ve had omeprazole prescribed by the drs a week ago. Since then she’s a lot more settled for naps, I’m able to put her in the crib once rocked to sleep and this takes no more than 10 minutes.. at night its a whole different story. We can get her off to sleep but as soon as we put her down she wakes screaming no matter how long we hold her for. At the minute it’s taking 2 hours to put her to sleep of a night! But once she’s down she’ll sleep between 3-4hrs before waking. Do we still think this is reflux related or fussiness?

Could still be reflux. If you're FFing, have you tried a Comfort type formula?

Have you propped the cot up so it’s slightly elevated at one end so she’s not laying flat ?

@SiouxsieSiouxStiletto we do both formula and breastfeeding. Haven’t tried the comfort formula.
@ScoobyBooby yes, elevated slightly. This made a real difference to naps but nothing helps of an evening
