SUBJECT: What is wrong with my child?????
I will give you a brief overview of my 4 month old's life thus far... At around 4 weeks old she started fussing with her bottles and cried and screamed everytime I tried to feed her. We have gone through all the formulas, including Neocate, and some brand called RCF. None of these worked. She was given a barium swallow test at around 2 mo. which showed nothing... She was given zantac which worked for about a week. We went to a GI doctor who put her on prilosec which did not work and she had an allergic reaction to it after a week, so we took her off of it. She is scheduled for a endoscopy in a week to see what is going on.

I'm at a loss as of what to do next. Everytime I try to feed her, she starts to drink really good and then she cries and jerks, and pulls her legs in- I can hardly hold on to her. Then she resorts to these "baby pacifier sucks" to finish the bottle, which takes sometimes over an hour to finish! I know that she is in pain somewhere. Does anyone have any advice or been through some of the things we are going through? I am very frustrated and tired of waiting for an answer, I've been searching for one for 3 months now, with NO SOLUTION!!!!!!! Help!
