Take him to an osteopath - they are incredible and can work on everything. Xx
You might consider an evaluation with an SLP (speech language pathologist) or ENT (ear nose and throat) who is savvy in assessing for tethered oral tissue (tongue tie)ā¦reflux symptoms can be related to underlying structure ! Just a thought!
Out if curiosity, does he sleep/rest with his mouth open? Babies are obligate nose breathers (resting posture is mouth closed, breath out nose- but will compensate by sleeping with mouth open if oral/breathing restrictions are involved!

My granddaughter was prescribed pepsid
I used enfamil ar formula and that helped my 2 girls
Enfamil AR and mylicon drops. Keep propping up.
Zantac prescribed by the pediatrician. It was short term and helped tremendously. I also highly recommend a chiropractor that focuses on children. My son was very colic . He is 1 1/2 years old . We recently took him off dairy all together. What a difference ! The gas drops / gripe water didnāt really work all that great .
I would see my babies doctor about this
Sounds like colic. Please check out Scharenberg Chiro
Gripe water and Humphreys, worked for all 5 of my children.
I had to add oatmeal cereal to my daughters breast milk and formulaā¦ it thickened it enough so she could keep it down
Limit amount of oz in feedings. My son had to have 2 oz every 2 hrs with 2 formula scoops of rice cereal in it for about 6 months. He was also on the max dose of meds 2 times dailu
Change formula to nutremigen. Itās expensive but helpsā¦also gripe water
My son is 4 months old. He is prescribed famotadine (pepcid) .4ml twice a day and we thicken his Nutramigen with Gerber rice cereal for supported sitters even though heās not a supported sitter yet. This was recommended by his pediatrician and has helped a lot. We recently switched from the rice to the oatmeal because the rice is constipating. Definitely ask your pediatrician as this could make a huge difference for your little one.

We had the same problem. Similac alimentum did the same thing as nutramigen. Gerber good start extensive HA formula was the ONLY one that helped! BUT he does have a cows milk allergy
Enfamil A+ Gentlease. The purple formula was the only thing that worked for my little ones acid reflux. Other than that talk to your pediatrician and possibly a dietician. They were wonderful when she was a baby
Try gaviscon my daughter had acid reflux when she was a baby 34 years ago. Hope you get him sorted .xx
Definitely go to the doctors. Can prescribe Omeprazole or gaviscon infant, or other things depending on the baby. Donāt take medical advice from on here especially when it comes to babies. Dunno what heās taking already as you didnāt state but please go doctors they can prescribe until something works or find out whatās causing it x

U can also consult with an ayurvedic doctor.
It helps if they arenāt entirely flat on there back and are abit elevated also can get gaviscon for infants at doctors
Has your babe been evaluated for silent reflux/ swallowing issues? Sometimes the milk needs to be thickened if they do notice those.
Some of it could be an issue with how much lactose is in the formula. Weāve tried similac pro advance, sensitive, neosure, pro total comfort and are now using just total comfort. Hes done so much better on this one than any other.
Have you tried different types of bottles? Swallowing too much air could be an issue to rule out.
Good luck momma! I hope you find a solution soon. 
Baby could be lactose intolerant,mine is now on soy bc almond wasnāt working either but Iād ask your pediatrician,it could be a number of other issues causing this,hope you figure it out,it can be hard to have your baby so upset they cry until you wanna melt away,hope it gets better for you and know your not alone 
Get a soft peppermint and mix in with his formulaā¦or even peppermint water. Itll dissolve.

First make sure he isnt having pyloric stenosis muscle cramping painful spasms. That what my son ended up having when I assumed it was just gas it was horrible.
Try a chiropractor. They do a baby adjustment. Doesnāt hurt at all. All my nieces, nephews, grandchildren have had adjustments as infants. Helps with sleeping and digestive issues.
We thicken our baby bottles with oatmeal
We use these drops once a day every day in his bottles and it has been life changing. We also switched to Enfamil Prosobee formula. He is such a happy baby now!

I saw a gastroenterologist for my first son Bc his reflux was bad and he had colic. Good news is that the reflux usually peaks by 4 months and goes away by 6-9 months. Our son stopped around 6-7 months. Until then we decreased amount per feeding but increased number of feedings. We did all the rest, reflux meds, neutramagin (but itās didnāt change anything and smelled so we took him off), propped him up, held after feedings, probiotics, but I think it was time that helped him. So good news is that you likely are peaking with reflux and it should start getting better. Wish there was something else, but nothing worked for me.
When my son was an infant (30+ years ago), he had stomach issues. The doctor didnāt think everything had gotten the message of how to work properly. He had me massage his stomach in a circular motion after eating. It was kinda like a mother dog or cat will lick to teach the little ones how things work. They didnāt give meds back them for stuff like that. But I did it, and it worked!! Certainly worth a try. Sometimes the old remedies were the best!
My son did better with the Alimentum than any of the others. He had horrible reflux
My daughter was on Zantac until she was 13 months. And special formula. Reglan didnāt help
I used nutramagin with rice cereal mixed. Had to go up in nipple sizes and actually stretch them as he got older. I held him upright for at least 45 mins after he ate also. We used a medicine as well but I cant remember the name of it.
Gas drops and gripe water BEFORE their feeding. My nephew had issues like that and thatās what worked for him.
As a pediatric nurse and a baby that had reflux it sounds like you are doing the right things. Nutramigen is the only thing she could tolerate. She magically at 6/7 months stopped with it. But it was a LONG 6 months. Try if ok with Ped mylicon drops if you have not. Hang in there this to shall pass.
My daughter also had acid reflux. She was on Alimentum formula. Worked for her but expensive!

Simethicone drops from rite aid or Walgreens works amazing and it works within 5 minutes of giving it to themā¦best gas relief for all 3 of my kids
My son had horrible acid reflux when he was a baby. They put him on a regimen of Zantac and Reglan when he was about 2 weeks old which worked wonders but we still had to take him to the gastrointestinal doctor once a month to make sure that the acid reflux wasnāt messing up anything inside his poor tummy. When he was about 2 we were notified that the reglan he was on was not approved for babies so they took him off of it. But it did work lol. He is now 20 years old and they have brought it back for babies so itās definitely worth asking your pediatrician about.
Girl those gas drops are life changing! My son is the same way where it felt like I was spending the majority of my day just burping him

Ours is 5 now but she used similac sensitive but was able to take the reflux meds. I would have to hold her vertical for a minimum of 47 minutes after a bottle. Hers was so bad that it would come out her nose and tear ducts at times. It was the scariest year of my life.
2-3 oz at each feeding. Every 2 hours.
Maybe try a swing too. It will get better.
My son they put on Zantac liquid. Switched him to soy formula (milk allergy) The āminty fresh breathā aka medicine was a game changer. Gas drops and Grape water worked for my granddaughter. My oldest i had to add rice cereal to bottles to thicken it and that helped with the colic and projectile spit ups. Thankfully they normally outgrow it when they start solid foods but my son (my worst) is now experiencing some now that he buys himself soda.
Reglan here too!! And advised to put rice cereal to thicken formula to help it stay down. Also prop up head of crib at an angle so the baby is not laying down flat.
I use to give my son water with fennel boil the water with the fennel and when itās cool he can drink it

I donāt know for sure, but the first thing I would try is switching his formula, to find one his stomach can handle! Even try a mild soy milk.
My granddaughter had it and was put on a special formula. I canāt remember the name. It helped her
My grandson has the same problem, the doctor said to put books under the mattress so his upper body is not flat or bent. Sitting in a baby seat still curves the body and does not work.
Doc told me NOT to burp my sonā¦leave him propped up and let him burp on his own after every few ounces. Worked amazing!!
Back in the day, chamomile tea soothes their tummiesā¦if you are nursing back off any thing that might give the baby gasā¦like onions,garlic, cucumbers, etcā¦
Did the doctors change the formula, he needs a soy formula
Similar Sensitive is what my daughter used for all 3 of her girls.
Youāve told everything youāve tried but I donāt see āPediatrician ā anywhere. That should be your first move if your baby is this uncomfortable.

Try taking him to a chiropractor that sees infants. Iāve seen many a baby cured of everything from mild reflux to severe colic after just a few appts and there is typically at least a little instantaneous improvement. He could also be having a milk issue. You could try a sensitive version or soy.
Try a little olive oil in the bottle.
My grandson slept in his swing. He sometimes stayed in it all night.
I switched to soy formula and had to use playtex bag bottles.
Would it be possible to go back to nursing or pumping? Some women are able to re-lactate.
My son had this and it turned out to be pyloric stenosis 
First off, unless youāre a doctor, donāt assume itās that. See the doctor have him examined and listen to them
Nutramagin is what I used helped a good bit
