is he on any medication for his reflux? how often are you feeding him?

when my DS was little i had to hold him upright the whole time he was awake. I held him up for up to two hours after a feed until he fell asleep and could put him down then.

i eventually made him a little bean bag to sit up in and this helped by giving me enough time to go to the loo.

Have you eliminated dairy and other common foods causing sensitivity from your diet? It can take 2-3 weeks to see a difference, but if something you're eating is contributing to his colic, it will help. You have my sympathies!
