Is this reflux?

Hello! My baby is 4 weeks old. In the past week she started fussing on the bottle, where she looks hungry takes the bottle then spits it out and cries then takes it again. She still seems hungry after finishing her bottle so I give her more but then she throws up a lot after that, so makes me think I over fed her. Is this reflux?

Projectile sick,? Does it smell of acid? Is she screaming,red drawing up her legs inconsolably crying?? Xx

Reflux is more of bringing milk up during and after feeds. It normally isn’t a huge amount but quite frequent. If she’s projectile vomiting, refusing her bottles, is sick after/during and in between feeds, scrunching her legs up and going bright red but also crying constantly during the feeds and after/in between it could be a sign of a milk allergy x

@Shona she spits up mostly, but in the past few days projectile vomited a few times. It doesnt smell of acid. When crying at bottle yes she gets very worked up and inconsolably crying.

@Julia she spits up a lot, like multiple times during the same feed. Im feeding her mostly breastmilk in a bottle.

@Ana Maybe be worth going doctors and see if they can give her anything for it. How’s her poos? Is there any blood/mucus in them? If so may be worth taking out dairy from your diet and see how she is x

Do you sit her upright to feed her ? @julia my daughter was exactly as you describe,,but she doesn't have cmpa she had very bad reflux ,due to immature valve to the stomache.

@Shona I’m just speaking from experience as I was told my baby had really bad reflux but it turned out that it was a cows milk allergy hence why I suggested x

CMPA can cause reflux as makes stomach contents more acidic I think, so could be either or both.
