Hi All:

I have been communicating with a lot of you with the same problem as mine namely baby not drinking, not drinking enough, spitting up , taking forever to finish a feed etc. I did some research and found out about acid reflux. The symptoms include vomiting, arching the head back uncomfortably while drinking, crying while drinking, refusing the bottle point blank etc. I suspected \";silent reflux\"; with my son where the acidity travels up the stomach thru the oesophegus but the normal symptoms might not at all be there. My doctor discussed this with me and decided to put him on an extremely low dosage of prilosec to see if it helps , I see a big amelioration in his timings/quantity of feeds since but it could be just coincidence being now 5 months old. But anyway do ask your doctors about this and see if it applies to you, if it does that might be the magic solution!!
Take Care
