I need help baby is not feeding!

I really need help! My daughter is 17 weeks now she was a good feeder loved aptamil 1 ready liquid was taking 900ml a day around 8-9 weeks and all of a sudden she has this crying going on for days and we reached out to the hospital and we was told it may be colic or reflux. She’s never vomited any milk out since she has been feeding. We was told by the hospital to feed her less and not when she wants but when her 3 hours is full to give her 120ml and that what I’ve done but the crying did not stop. I then took her to the gp and I was advice to move to a different formula Hipp ORganic which was really good for her but she never enjoyed the taste of it and she was okay drinking it but less then what she normally had. Thank god her crying stopped. For the past 3-4 weeks she would only drink when she is a sleep she will not cry for milk like before. To feed her I would have to put her to sleep and her feeding is less than before it’s changes from day to day 500ml- 700ml. I don’t know what to do with feeding how to help her. Now she’s resisting to sleep and won’t sleep so I can’t feed her and only drinks 90ml every 4-5 hours a day. I thought she might had reflux now trying aptamil reflux but it’s so thick to take out. Due to covid I can’t get the help I need from doctors. What can I do to help her

I don't have much knowledge on this to be able to help but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will come along soon. I have read elsewhere that around 4 months can be the peak age for acid reflux so it could be that. As well as special formula, I think the GP can prescribe medication for that.

Has she been weighed?
My lo has colic/reflux, went to hospital and we had various medications. Nothing worked... doctors don’t really understand it. They just advised nothing was medically wrong and she would grow out of it.
If it IS colic could try some mashed banana, oatmeal, or baby rice. She should really be seen by a GP I’d have thought.
Have you tried calling 111?

Please check out Baby Care Advice Feeding Aversion Support Group on Facebook.
Went through the exact same thing from 12-22 weeks, was the hardest thing.
Have a look and see if the info on there resonates with you xx

I had the chance to see the GP and was told that it is reflux and I should just find and keep trying formulas that she likes to drink 😤. And there’s nothing to be concerned because she has gained 170 gram within 2 weeks so I should carry on doing what I’m doing. He only checked her weight her temperature her skin colour and he said she looks healthy. I don’t understand is it because Of Covid that the doctors have become so careless.

Thank you, I’ll be checking it out now. I’m giving her the ready made aptamil formula that I used to give her when she was a newborn.
