Hi
Thank you for your query
From the symptoms it seems that your baby has gastro-esophageal reflux. It is a condition in which the contents of the stomach regurgitate back into the food pipe that is the esophagus. For that you should keep her upright for 10-15 min after feeding her. Try nursing her in a car seat. It is a seat used for carrying babies in cars. What it does is it keeps the baby inclined at an angle of 45 degrees with the bed and hence decreases the reflux. Some prokinetic drugs will also prove to be helpful. Consult your pediatrician or pediatric surgeon for the same
Hope that helps. God bless you
