There are no directly equivalent drugs approved for infants (at least here in the UK), but proton pump inhibitors (e.g. omaprazole) may be useful | |

Here in the UK it's possible to get an infant version of Gaviscon, which helps with reflux and was a real lifesaver when our son's reflux was at its worst. Gerber's Soothe seems to be more of a colic thing than a reflux thing; for that, in the UK there is Infacol, which is similar. | |

You can also get foam wedges designed to go under the mattress. The idea is that it helps to stop the reflux from coming up so far, and helps them to swallow it down easier without feeling like they can't breathe, which is scary and guaranteed to have them wake up crying. After our health visitor recommended it, we bought one for our son's crib and it does seem to work. For his pram, I put a thick lever arch file under the mattress, which does about the same thing. | |
