Does anyone else experience this? and what causes it?

the first week i had sylvia home it was a fight to get her to eat. i have reflux myself and sometimes when it is really acting up, just taking a swallow of food will cause some real burning for me—-it is like i relux at the same time i swallow.

yep, it’s the reflux. It comes up while eating and burns their little throats. Sounds like you guy might need a higher dose of meds. That, or it’s simply the act of refluxing that bothers him.

It got better for both of mine when they could sit up in the highchair.

I know Jacob seems to be fussy in between bites(he started baby food and eats cereal). I think it’s because I’m not feeding him fast enough
Now I’m gonna be wondering if he is hurting.
HMMMMM

I cannot remember, sorry, but what formula is he on? (I see you put lots of info in your signature; thank you)

maybe it’s reflux combined w/ mspi?

Of course, as with everything with babies, there is no easy answer! It could certainly be reflux, since that commonly causes fussy eating. If this is the case, one thing they suggest feeding with the baby on a slant, so their head is above their belly.

However, it can be that they don’t like the flow level of the food. Are you breast feeding or bottle feeding? If bottle feeding, it might be the nipple flow. If breast feeding, overactive letdown often causes fussy eating. My little one, for his first couple of months, would fuss everytime I had letdown. Now that he’s a little older, he gets impatient and fusses between letdowns!
