Pediatrician,  's  Response
Please do not worry as little amounts of milk reflux occurs in all newborns. The possiblity of the drug causing this condition is very low. Transient cow milk intolerance is also a common phenomenon in this age group. The reason why the baby is receiving cow milk instead of breast feeds in unclear. Breast feeding would be better.
