Silent reflux?

My 7 week old was feeding great a couple of weeks ago, consistently taking 4-5oz bottles. She had a lot of problems with wind so we started on colief, then she seemed to develop silent reflux - lots of wet burps and hiccups followed by crying and pulling off the bottle.

I tried weaning her off the colief just incase it was related, and changed her formula from cow & gate to hipp organic. The reflux seemed to settle, but her intake was still lower than it had been, only taking 3-4oz.

Now she's pulling off the bottle during feeds. She'll guzzle 2-3oz, but then pulls off the bottle crying, if the bottle comes near her she's trying to hit it away, but she'll happily suck a dummy.

I've tried different bottles, different teats, different flow rates - none of it makes a difference. Could the silent reflux be back? I'm not hearing any wet burps or hiccups this time which is why I'm not sure Confused
