Hi, thank you for posting.

I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.

I think that her symptoms are caused by pyloric stenosis. Pyloric stenosis is an uncommon condition affecting the opening (pylorus) between the stomach and small intestine in infants. It most often occurs in the first few months of life.

The diagnosis of this condition is determined by stomach radiographic studies and abdominal ultrasound.

Consult a pediatric gastroenterologist for the treatment.

All the best.
Dr. Behar.
