How long does it take for acid reflux in babies to go away?
Posted on November 20th, 2009 by Beth Goodwill under Q&AMy 2 month old baby has acid reflux. He is on Prevacid and Mylanta. I burp him and hold him upright for 30 mins after each meal. Question for all parents whose babies have had acid reflux: How long did it take for your babies to get rid off their acid reflux ?

My son has acid reflux…. He also has tracheomalacia (weakened trachea) He was on hypoallergenic formula… I didnt put him on zantac or prevacid or anything like that… the dr did suggest putting some cereal in the bottles, but I didnt want to do that either..
He is 6 months old now and is pretty much done with the whole acid reflux thing… He spits up sometimes, but not like he used to. We switched him back over to milk based formula when he started solids (around 5 months) and he has been good ever since.
I think it is really a baby by baby thing… each baby just has to grow out of it on their own.
Good luck.

It took my daughter til she was a little over a year old to get ride of it. We tried everything and it was just something she had to grow out of.

Our daughters went away at 5 months, once she started solid foods it seemed to help.

My daughter still has acid reflux at 8 1/2 months. It did get much better, however, once she started solids.
