At 10 months my son is still not better. Nights are terrible. Does this mean it’s unlikely he will outgrow it by a year? Can someone give me hope? Like your child was suffering/peaking and got better suddenly. Anyone?

Is your son on a ppi?

Yes, we are on Prevacid. Just upped from 1.5 ml 2x/day to 2 ml 2x/day about 3 weeks ago.

I know he still refluxes, because I can feed him food, clean his face completely off and w/in 10 minutes it is covered in food again that he just ate.

Well my son has so much trouble with any solids at all. He is on oatmeal now and I try to add veggies but each one just makes his reflux flare. He had endoscopy and in spite of all these issues his scope is clear. No evidence of even slight irritation. So the dr. Doesnt see the point in using a ppi if there is essentially nothing that needs to be healed; test-wise. Any thoughts on this anyone?

my thoughts are this:

is the baby in pain?

if so then that, to me, would warrent the use of medication.

if there is no pain, then I would focus mainly on diet, trying like you are, to introduce foods. at 10 months I would be desperate and try jumping to giving him chunks of food, not babyfood purees….

I am with hellbennt. I have noticed that what we have most issues reflux wise with are the purees. When I give him table food or thicker solids (ie check out a jar of mango in stage 2 vs applesauce), he does much better. I gave him pork that I pulled apart a bit and some peas we had for dinner. Then I also gave him a jar of stage 2 peaches. What he had all over his face was the peaches, not a single sign of the pork or the peas.

We have not had a scope, but they can tell his reflux bothers him, because he has all the classics signs of it (legs pulled up tight to body, arms tight, crying/screaming, weight loss/FTT/malnourishment).
