Complex situation: This really needs an assessment of your baby by a pediatrician, or perhaps even a pediatric gastroenterologist , depending on the magnitude of the problem. There are a few motility disorders that might show up this early, and if you don't get an early diagnosis, the long-term outcome is not as good.
