hi my 3 month old started vomitin up most of a bottle every feed 17days ago. had her at docs after she did it for 4 days they found nothing wrong in exam an told me reduce milk scoops ie 180ml or 6oz with3 scoops instead 6. then to come back nxt day. was diff doc an she put us on gaviscon over weekend unfortunatly didnt help.(fri-mon o infant gaviscon) i was feeding her 6oz btles every 1.5-2 hrs.she was also so unsetled nothing i did soothed her.
during this time i was starting her on hungrier milk(started this 3days after first started vomiting was alternating between hungry btl and nor one) the (she could vomit right up until her next feed.)
was at docs again w her an i mentiond could it be the milk due toppl sugesting itas the knew babies similar. so after 14days of vomiing and unsetled ness she started neocate lcp. took first 5 feeds ok with odd mouth ful on bup(a babies norm) thn it was staght bac vomiting an unsetled worse (it was gettn bad each day as it as. my health visitor thouht maybe was feedinghe too ch as she was gaining weight 10oz in 5days. but she was wanting it an it was only thing tht sothed her for while.
she just cries straight after a feed witch i was told to reduce to 5oz every 3 hours.

been on neocate since monday so four days an still bringing it up.and ive had 5 black nappies since starting it. we do have a doc apoint tommorow.

i am just so feed up of it been told maybe reflux an asked if i sit her up( shes in a upright bouncer through the day onl lyingon back when in cot at night and when changed.
fortunatly i am only up once throuh nite to feed. an she did start sleeping right through a week ago ecept for maybe 3 -4 nights.

tried everything baths(workd for 5 mins), walks(screamed most time). tried entertaining her and get screamed at for effort. i do get smiles now an again but shes mainly unsetled.

i just dont no wht do. i also have 15+month old
 
Have you thought of trying one of the anti reflux milks, my daughter was just like your lo until we swapped to Aptimal anti reflux and now she drinks 6oz 7 times per day with very little sick :)
Aptamil anti reflux is only available at Boots but SMA do one called stay down that they sell at ASDA, TESCO. Cow & Gate also do one.

Hope this helps xx
 
Have they considered a milk protein allergy, lactose intolerance, or anything along those lines? I have my LO on Enfamil Gentlease because he is allergic to milk protein. It's a cheaper alternative opposed to other milk protein free formulas. Perhaps you can give this a go?
