i have a 5 month old daughter, and from the moment she was born she threw up all of her milk i was giving her. she would projectile vomit and was not gaining any weight. she was born at 6lbs 8oz and was over due, she was only 7 lbs at age 1 month. We saw a few speicalist and they ruled out that it was not pylorix stynosis (?) but that it was acid reflex. I have been giving her Zantac for the past 4 months but there has been hardly any change. We also started adding rice cereal to her formula, we even experimented and tried a few other formulas, but nothing. For 5 months now I have been brushed off by my clinic, and I belive part of it is beacuse i am a teen mother and I am on state medical. Finally after fighiting with them for over 5 months, my daughter finally showed them her projectile vomiting, her fussy moments, her unable to relax and calm down moments .. etc. they are finally sending me to a growth and development specialist. My advise to you is to reserach anything and everything you can online, and also talk to other parents. Most of all keep trying to convince your hospital or clinic about your childs speical medical needs, or keep getting second and third and even fourth opinions.
