I respectfully disagree on this point.  An abundant milk supply in a  diet 
that is totally milk will increase/maintain the reflux.  By six months  old 
infants exhibit readiness and interest in exploring and subsequent mastery  of 
solids and gradually more sophisticated self-feeding.  Move toward a  more solid 
food diet age appropriately and the reflux symptoms generally vastly  improve, 
if not totally resolve at this time.
