My 3 1/2 month baby has been diagnosed with acid reflux.  We had the upper gi test yesterday and it was confirmed that she does in fact have reflux.  It has been a constant struggle to feed her.  She gags when I put the bottle in her mouth.  Now it has gotten to the point I am too paranoid to even offer her more milk because I am so scared she might vomit it out.  She vomits on a daily basis.  And now I cannot even track how much formula she is taking in because of her vomitting. She averages about 16-20 ounces only per day.  Its very low for a baby at her age.  Any advise out there for me?  The doctors have suggested that I give her 4 ounces every 3 hours but that is close to impossible because I already struggle with giving her 4 ounces every 4 hours. Help!
