What Could Be The Reason For Indigestion And Vomiting In Newborn?

My baby was born May 12th @ 8.11oz and as of today has not gained an oz, today she is 8.10oz I feed her every two hours, shortly after she seems to fuss like she has gas and then she does a grand vomit whereby all my clothes need to be changed including hers. After the fuss, she has a BM and then she seems to settle. Do you think there may be a GI distrubance? Her birth was tramatic where by the cord was wrapped around her neck twice, and her eyes are still red.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
What you are describing is consistent with reflux. Most babies will spit up. However, the irritability and, more importantly, the lack of weight gain, are concerning. Reflux can be easily treated. Sometimes it requires a change in the formula used. Sometimes it requires treatment with medicine. Once treated, the irritability resolves and weight gain improves. I recommend consulting with your doctor about this.
