Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
You will have to reduce the size of the meal or gradually reduce the amount of milk you give her, because if you give her too much of both, this will impose mechanical load on her stomach, and the stomach content will inevitably go upwards, resulting in reflux  and regurgitation. Another good measure would be to space out meal time and bottle time by at least two hours, to allow for the meal to be partially digested and the stomach to empty before drinking the milk. This will reduce the load on the stomach and thus reduce the likelihood of reflux. As well, elevate your child's pillow by about 45 degrees from the horizontal plane.
