: I am the mother of a 4 month old. She has only gained 1 1/2 lbs in the four months. We have tried everything we can think of. She is constantly spitting up or vomiting. I am tired of putting her through tests which find nothing and giving her medicine that is not helping. We have also tried adding cereal to the formula. But nothing seems to help. any suggestions please email me or respond. Good luck and keep us posted.

I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with your baby not gaining wait. You mentioned you tried putting cereal in the formula. Have you tried adding a stage 1 baby jar of applesauce in it. You pinch the nipple and shake the bottle very well. The liquid will be a little thicker but still runny and make an X on the nipple or buy the nipples that they sell at the stores with the X already on them. She may like the taste of this, especially if you say she has had many tests and find nothing wrong with her. If she had GERD, I would think the doctors would have caught that by now.
