My son couldn't tolerate milk or soy based formulas and had reflux as well. He was put on Zantac for the reflux and we switched to Similac Alimentum and he was a totally different baby after that. Your description of the twins mirrors the way my son acted.

Another thing to try if you think they have reflux try similac for spit up. It is lactose free and thickens in the stomach. It can be mixed to higher calories.

They will not hurt the boys even if you put them in every bottle until you get their tummies straight. Also, this advice came from my husband's grandmother. She was in her late 80's. I've always believed older folks, so I did it.
