We had a few good days with changing the nipple flow slower , she will take large bottles now happily , but only 1-2 times a day and the rest of the feeds are small and with same issues. I’m calling ped (requesting a different doc this time) and will raise some of these issues and ask for reflux meds / support. If they can’t help I’ll ask for a GI. They have a good lactation consultant there.

Did any of you have to go to a feeding clinic? Do they help or is that for other problems ?


The gi helps.
