Could he have reflux, is he getting enough ?

Hi Archie is 3 and a bit weeks old and I think he could have reflux.
We changed from Aptimal 1 to Aptimal comfort as we thought it was just wind that was making him uncomfortable during a feed. but he's still being sick with each burp and after each feed. It doens't smell acidic but could it still be reflux. SOmetimes he'll be sick, just a mouthful, an hour after a feed once he's lying down so it's obviously just not sitting right in his tummy.
is he getting enough if he's bringing some back up again ? He's taking 120ml (4oz) every 4hrs, sometimes 3hrs. but it takes him ages to settle after a feed, so is he still hungry ?
Thanks girls, Suz xx

    Hi, if he is draining his bottles, then maybe up them to 5oz, its always a good idea to have 1oz more in the bottle then they drink in case they fancy a bit more.
    Gabe has reflux but he didnt suffer with the discomfort, he was just ridiculously sick (and still is at nearly 6 months). He is sick after a feed right up until the next feed and always was! It hasnt ever bothered him but is very hard on the washing machine xx

    I wouldnt worry too much as long as your lo is gaining weight. perhaps get unto your hv and ask her opinion and maybe your lo would need some baby gaviscon. x
