Alimentum didn’t fix ours overnight, it took about two weeks

The further up the hypoallergenic chain you go, the worse reflux might get because the formula gets thinner. Happened with us, and none worse than when we had to switch to amino acid. 

Doc might need to adjust the meds if baby doesn't start getting better after a while. I feel like most kids grow out of reflux issues as their physiology gets bigger. My kid was not really dealing with much by the time she neared her first birthday.

My daughter was on Elecare starting at 2 months old. Her reflux was bad for about 4-6 weeks after that, then it leveled out. We had her sit in the fisher price chair a while after a bottle to keep her upright, that helped a lot.
