[quote=Anonymous]OP. Thank you PPs for checking. I really appreciate that. I know it's been a while since I posted and I don't think anyone would want to even click a thread with so many pages :)

We are still struggling a lot. I am now working part-time from home since we have not been able to find a great nanny. We saw three different specialists and they all had different opinions. She is on Zantac but honestly I don't think it makes any difference as her milk intake is still low and she can sometimes vomit out the contents of the previous evening's feed the next day just because she doesn't want to take the bottle. She has constipation and the ped said to give prunes and pears and milk of magnesia. We are doing the MOM since yesterday but that is just symptomatic relief.

I have a gut feeling she has motility issues and wish I could give her something to improve her digestion overall, to move things better and so she feels hungry enough.

She is still stuck on stage 1 purees and needs to be fed with a dropper. Takes very little. Her ped said she needs at least 750 calories. We are lucky if we get 350 calories in her on a given day. Milk is still 3-4 bottles and total intake is about 12 oz. She hasn't dropped percentiles any more though (about 8=9%).

I am not even sure if it's Milk protein intolerance and am so tempted to go back to Gerber Soothe or even try goat milk protein since we need a solution.

We are using the Dr Brown's bottles. Any suggestions of other bottles we can try?[/quote]
