Hello Lea,
I know you are worried about your son. Have you talked to his doctor about your concerns? It might be a good idea to schedule a sick visit to discuss the symptoms you are seeing.
I like going to the doctor with lots of information written down so that I don't forget anything:
Frequent colds: how often, what are the symptoms (cough, stuffy nose, runny nose, ear infection).
Eating: how much, how often
Drinking: how much, how often
Spit up/vomiting: how much, how often
Sleeping: how often waking at night, length of nap, length of sleep at night.
Weight gain: review the weight chart with the doctor
Only the doctor can diagnose reflux. It does sound like he has some symptoms of reflux but it could be something else that looks like reflux. The doctor will need to examine him and ask you a lot of questions about his diet, eating and sleep habits.
Let me know what you find out.
Best wishes,
Jan
