HELP!! FF 5 week old...projectile and reflux!

[PinkiePoo]

Can anyone out there be my saviour..

My 5 week old baby has reflux. she has since birth had tummy pains, arching back, the usual symptoms, but never sick. Until last week.

She has become fussy with feeds, having about 2/3 oz every 4 hours, and sick a fair bit but not projectile. Took her to docs and he gave us Gaviscon. Started it on Sunday, but because she was on Comfort milk, which is thick, we decided to use Infant One instead, which is what she first started on. Yesterday was another fussy day with feeds, then at 6pm, she had almost 4 oz (this is not the first time, she does occasionally have a 4 oz) and half hour later projectile vomit everywhere, and a very upset baby. We waited a while then it was clear she was hungry again, so gave her some more. 5 mins later, projectile vomit!!

Gave her a feed at 3am this mrning and she had 2 oz fine, then woke up at 6, very hugry, had almost 4 oz and projectile vomit straight away after. And again a VERY upset baby after.

Please does anyone have any advice, its really worrying me as she is so so tiny i don't want her to lose any weight....

BTW i am taking her bk to docs today too

anyone?

Sounds like it's just the 4oz feeds she's throwing up. Maybe try little and offten.

I know not quit the sam as DD was BF but she ahd refulx and I could only ever feed her one side at a time. If she had both sides' she'd throw it all up and we'd have to start agian. SO she was fed little and offten untill she grew out of it at around 6months.

I have no idea about FF, so not sure how useful this will be.

It appears that the 4 oz feeds are the problem. Could you give her smaller feeds more often? Or maybe the change of formula has upset her tummy? Before you switch again I'd get the doctor's opinion, though. If he thinks it's likely, you could mix the Gaviscon with cooled boiled water and give it to her after a feed, either in a new bottle or with a syringe.
