So I give my daughter 4oz every bottle...she still cries after she drinks it all...I'm afraid of giving her 2oz more cuz I feel like she will spit up/projectile vomit like she has been...I hate it when she projectile vomits because she looks miserable and it breaks my heart 😟 what can I do until her doctors appointment which is on the 12th, to avoid her spitting up/projectile vomiting...I worry about her so much she's my first and only child so I'm new to this. She did it on the yellow can of Enfamil and the one she is on now (that her pediatrician switched her too) is Enfamil AR.....she is 2 months

What kind of formula is she on?

@bipolarmommyofone, that’s why she is constipated due to the added rice. My son had reflux and was spitting up we put him on gentlease and that helped him it has broken down proteins it’s easier on the belly plus he was on Zantac to help with the vomiting . or if there is an allergy nutramigen which is hypoallergenic. I would ask your pediatricians opinion though if the formula you switched to isn’t working. Enfamil AR didn’t work for my son either

Babies with reflux don't know the difference between hunger pain and reflux pain. Make sure you pace feed, burp every half ounce

@bipolarmommyofone try every half ounce. Control her flow and make her drink slow. Less more often is best. Better to avoid a full belly

we have the playlex bottles also so she doesn't drink so much air

It's not just matter of air. It's to get her not to drink so fast. Again, they don't know the difference between the hunger pain and reflux. Also the hormone to tell her she's full takes some time to kick in. So she'll suck it down as fast as she can thinking it will help and fill her stretched belly wick isn't good. Seems as if you aren't really looking for suggestions though as you seem to have answers for it all so best of luck

Do 2 oz at a time. You have to feed her twice as often. Or do 2 oz then wait like 5 mins and give her the rest. I had to do that with my son. I thought it was a hungry cry. But his tummy was upset from drinking too fast.

I did that last night she still projectile vomited 😟

Do you sit her up for about 20minutes after eating.??

@bipolarmommyofone ohkay then she might be lactose intolerant talk to her doctor about it. If she's still crying after 6oz something is wrong. How is her poop.? And how often is she pooping

@sleepymommy she doesn't poop that much and is always constipated 😭 we're thinking she's lactose intolerant cuz my boyfriend (her dad) is also

look into switching formula that happened to my daughter at one point she was pooping blood she was so constipated.
