What Causes Projectile Vomiting,problem In Sleeping And Increase In Appetite?

My 3-wk old granddaughter has had projectile vomiting (twice), is not sleeping for more than an hour at a time, has a hard tummy and is fussy when awake. She wants to eat about every 1.5 hrs. She is on formula. This just started within the last week. Is this colic, a growth spurt or what?

Hi...this doesn't look like colic. By what you quote I feel she is having some amount of gastroesophageal reflux. What is her birth weight and what is her current weight...this is what is more crucial that the occasional vomiting. Being fuzzy can be due to an ear infection. I suggest you get her checked by a paediatrician.
