Wait a minute here, the baby was born on the 27th and by the 29th, they have tried 4 diferent types of formula and given up on breastfeeding. WHOA ! This kid hasn't been given achance to do anything/ Does he keep water down? This is a little early for pyloric stenosis to show up. Who is deciding to change this formula so often ?? Check with the pediatrician.
