[Disclaimer :Before try our method don't forget to consult your doctor or physician for better result.We are not responsible for any harm to your health]

1)Remedies:- As we have mentioned earlier infant acid reflux clear up on their own with the growth of the baby. Also simple changes in feeding techniques help in further controlling of the situation. These include more frequent but smaller feedings, holding the baby in little upright or inclined position while feeding and letting the baby burp frequently while feeding. While breast feeding avoid cow's milk or other related food.Switch the brand if you feed your baby on formula foods. Aggressive treatment may be needed for severe cases of infant acid reflux. Medication;; Doctor's may prescribe infant doses of medications that are used regularly for adults if the baby is really uncomfortable. These may include H-2 blockers like cimetidine [tagamet] or ranitidine [zantac], proton pump inhibitor such as oesomeprazole [nexium] or omeprazole [Prilosec].However a 2006 study shows that these medications despite claiming to be safe for use in children and infants may increase the risk of intestinal and respiratory infections in otherwise healthy children and infants. Alternative methods if the baby isn't growing as expected alternate high calorie food or feeding tube is required for the baby.
2)Surgery:- 

In very rare cases baby may need to undergo Fundoplication where the muscle that relaxes to let the food in to the stomach and closes to inhibit the revert of the food to the oesophagus, is wrapped and tightened surgically.However this is done only if the infant acid reflux is interfering with baby's overall growth and is causing breathing problems because though it may treat the infant GERD but may lead to severe complications like constant gagging while feeding.
3)Self regulated care techniques:-

First of all keep your self calm and relaxed before and during each feed and feed the baby before it gets frantic. Next try and feed the baby in upright position and every 15 to 30 minutes while feeding put the baby in sitting position to let gravity help in keeping the food contents where it belongs that is the stomach. Try a front pack a backpack or an infant chair. Try not to juggle your baby while the food is settling.Try more frequent but smaller feedings .may be 1 ounce lesser than usual but more frequent. Limit nursing sessions to one breast. Let the baby burp during and after feeding to avoid building up of air ih the baby's stomach. Put the baby in an inclined position with the support of your hand under the baby's head and take time to burp.
However baby is not burping over the shoulder lest it would put undue pressure on baby's stomach. Make sure the size of the nipple used in the bottle is just right for the baby to have the milk without spitting it out if its too large. if the nipple is too small baby may find it difficult to suck the milk thereby getting irritated and take the air in.The right size of nipple can be judged by checking if the milk is coming out of the bottle in drops, while holding the bottle upside down. Thicken the formula if your doctor approves. Add a small portion of rice cereal to baby's formula and take a nipple with a bigger hole so baby can drink the formula comfortably.Last but not the least while putting the baby to sleep raise the head of the crib by around 30 degrees to maintain gravity towards the stomach, also keep lots of burp cloths handy and there will be no problem handling infant acid reflux.
