Why The Baby Is Vomiting Since Born?

My 16 day old baby boy has been in and out of the doctor since he was born. He has been vomiting since born. Recently it is projectile. He was born at 9lbs 4oz and left the hospital at 8lbs 9oz. He has not gained any of his weight back but has not lost either. After eating he gags, vomits, hiccups, or a combo of all three. So far they have changed his formula and put him on Zantac and no change. They did an ultrasound for Pyloric Stenosis and it came out elevated but still with in normal limits. I feel so helpless and just want my baby to start eating and gaining his weight back, Any other suggestions for what it could possibly be that I can bring to our doctors attention?

Hello Welcome to HCM. As a Breastfeeding Specialist i would advise you to feed your baby small amount and very frequently. If the baby shows the symptoms that you have describes above this is because the baby is overfeeding or he has reflux. In both situations you have feed him frequently small amounts of formula or breast milk. With his tiny stomach he only need 50-80 ml formula 8-12 times per day. So be careful and do not overfeed him. You should also burp your baby for at least 20 minutes in an up-right position and dont put him to lay down to early.
