I agree with everything this person said. My son was diagnosed with reflux at 3 weeks old - he's now 4 months. He would go through phases of not wanting to take the bottle. Have you tried standing up to feed her? Or running the vacuum cleaner? Don't ask my why, but these two methods seemed to help my son finish a bottle. He would drink and ounce or less, and then fuss and turn away. I would just keep trying every few minutes and sometime he would finish it over time. I've also come to learn that my son likes his formula a little on the cool side. He seems to eat it better than when its warmer. Hope these suggestions help. By the way, my son is on Zantac, and it seems to help overall, but it doesn't take the reflux away completely.
