My 4 week old baby has been spitting up a lot and when i try to hold her or touch her she screams like something is hurting her what could be wrong?

Many possibilities: Heartburn (reflux), formula intolerance or allergy, air swallowing, colic, various neurologic conditions. Start writing down what you are doing & what symptoms baby has & take her in for a visit.

M.D. visit/mgt: One of the more common causes of these symptoms includes reflux. Avoid any pressure on the stomach, and try feeding at a 30 degree angle. A follow up visit with your pediatrician is recommended.
