Struggling with baby's reflux, sleep and bottle aversion at five months

Long story short, my baby is five months old and has been unsettled from birth. She will only sleep on me and has severe reflux and has also developed a bottle aversion. She cries a lot and is up numerous times at night.

I am really struggling at this point. I cry for hours everyday. Has anyone any advice.

My daughter was like this. Hers was due to severe silent reflux and needed treatment only available through paediatrics. She also turned out to have a lot for food allergies so I had to change my diet.

I'd look into cmpa, what treatment have you tried for the reflux?

I had a baby who cried and didn’t sleep, it turned out to be Tongue Tie has this been checked?

I do agree though that it’s much more likely to be CMPA. Does she have any of these symptoms @redtowelblue?
