Everytime my 4 month old baby drinks his formula, he acts as if something is hurting him on the inside and spits back up. what could be the problems?

GERD : It sounds like gerd (gastro-esophageal reflux disease). This means the sphincter between the esophagus and the stomach doesn't completely close and stomach contents reflux back up the esophagus. Possible treatments include thickened feeds, smaller volume per feed, staying upright after feeding, better burping, and if nothing works, prescription medication may also be an option.
