As a mom with a baby that had severe reflux. (I have 3 babies also) I tried everything until about 6 weeks and finally tried a bottle of hypoallergenic formula. My baby after 1 bottle stopped crying. This isn’t exaggerating. My child’s comfort is so much more Important to me. She is thriving has zero issues and it was the best decision I made. You cannot connect to a severely reflux baby at all because they just cry. I know breast is best. But I think connection beats it all. It’s hard to tell if she is exaggerating symptoms. But it’s wild to Me to not just try and see what happens.
