in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
About a month ago I took DD into her pedi because she started refusing her bottle. I was lucky if I could get her to drink 2 oz. She was frequently spitting up, even to the point of it coming out her nose. I could tell she was uncomfortable. I EFF and she was on similac advance at the time. Her pedi thought it was reflux so she put her on zantac. Almost a month later she is still very fussy (inconsolable screaming at times), still fighting her bottles, still spitting up a lot, still very gassy, and her poop is green watery and very odorous. I ended up calling her pedi a few days ago and she thought to try similac soy formula. My husband is lactose intolerant and so is most of his family. DD has been on soy formula for several days now and the only difference I've noticed is that she's not screaming anymore. She is drinking a little bit more but still fights the bottle after 2 oz like she's in pain. Has anyone else had similar issues? What have you all tried?

    She is gaining weight but it has slowed down from when she initially started gaining weight. We also use Tommee Tippee anti colic bottles and haven't tried any others. I guess that is something I could try as well.

    My DS has reflux and Zantac did not help him. We finally for him on Prevacid and it made a world of difference. After about 2 weeks on Prevacid he was a different baby.

    We also had to do smaller feedings (he was breastfed), frequent burping, and holding him upright for 30 mins or so after each feeding. I'm not sure how your LO is but 2oz might be all she can tolerate. If you are unhappy with your pedi you can ask for a referral to GI. Our GI doctor is the one who got DS on Prevacid and saved my sanity. Good luck!
