Hello Sarah,

You are asking an excellent question. Diet is a very important treatment for an infant with reflux. Both dairy and soy protein can be difficult to digest, especially for an infant with digestive issues. You might want to discuss the formula options with the doctor. Some doctors recommend a hypoallergenic formula or thickened formula. Your doctor will know all of the options and what is best for the symptoms.
