The best thing for sleeping is to stick a few books under the legs at the head end of the cot so its raised so the acid stays down same idea for the pram but use a rolled towel under the mattress or something, they do grow out of it eventually its normally premature babies that get it cos the stomach hasn't formed fully.
our lass typed everything above, far to intelligent for me.
My little boy was premature and had it, my wifes just pretty much said as above, but she has siad if you speak to your health visitor you can get some Special milk called something like 'Pre-digested' milk which they can hold down better...
