acid reflux in infants just develop randomly

Q.Does acid reflux in infants just develop randomly? If my baby has it, then why it is just showing up all of a sudden? What are the symptoms?

A.first off it usually doesnt show up until the baby is between 4-6 weeks old, and sometimes later. The Symptoms are being a loud eater, fussing during and after the feeding even after they have been burped. When they burp they cry out of pain. The arch their backs and stiffen there legs. they throw up, not just spit up throwing up it will sometimes come out of there nose. they are generally very fussy after eating, then throw up and want to eat more because it soothes the burning. Its a never ending cycle!!! Many up to 90% of babies spit up for no reason.Thats very normal so if thats your only symptom, then i would be concerned My son had reflux that started around 3 to 4 weeks old. This also produced endless crying and the only thing that would stop that would be more food which would cause more vomiting. The Dr. put him on liquid antacids and a pain reliever since this was very painfull to the little guy. Many of my friends called this colic and said it would be gone in 3 months. Well after 3 months nothing changed. The Dr. told me it would stop around the time he sat up since this was a valve problem not closing properly. I honestly did not believe him at this point since I was out of my mind from all this crying. I got used to the vomit but the endless crying was hard to live with. Well low and behold a week or so after he learned to sit up on his own the vomiting and crying slowing was stopping. My one girlfriend who is a nurse used to move his legs as if he was on a bicycle and rubbed his belly which stopped the crying. I also tried with some success adding some baby rice to his bottle to try and hold the food down.
