Three days ago, my four month old baby started spitting out all the milk. He is exclusively formuLa-fed (nan pro 1). He had been showing symptoms of a waning appetite before that. I started him on domstal baby drops (0.8 ml thrice a day), which helped in keeping the throwing up under control, but he completely lost his appetite. His milk intake went down from 900 ml a day to 300-400 ml a day. Today, we started him on walamycin suspension (3.5 ml thrice a day). His appetite has not improved. In fact, he threw up again today and spit out half of what he had taken. What is happening with him?

It is not vomiting but is called possetting and is due to the muscle in esophagus not developed at this age. DOmstal is not indicated. You have to stop bottle and feed with spoon and if you can give only breast milk. Burp well after each feed. First, stop bottle and he will be fine.
