Yes..these meds can be given for long especially in view of Gastroesophageal reflux causing recurrent vomiting and respiratory issues( bronchiolitis, aspiration pneumonia)
Next Steps
although weight at this point is fine but in future we never know about appropriate weight gain with persistent Gastro esophageal reflux.
pls consult a Pediatrician for GERD and Sandifer syndrom

Nexpro can be given for that duration. Domstal is usually given for a week only. Please take a second opinion. Treatment for gastro esophageal reflux is needed only if weight gain is not adequate

Yes these medications (anti reflux) can be given for that long
Weight gain of the baby is appropriate as of now
Laryngomalacia usually resolves spontaneously by 12-24 months of age depending on the severity.
