Reflux: This scenario is very suspicious for reflux. This is where stomach contents come back up. Common in infants because they are lying down a lot and on a liquid diet. Try small, frequent feedings, good burping, slow-flow nipples, upright for 1 hour after feeds, elevate head of bassinette/crib. Talk to doc about trying an anti-reflux formula or thickening feeds. Must follow weight closely.
