We aren&#8217;t sure if she hates the taste of the formula (which stinks terribly, worse than wet cat food).

I didn&#8217;t realize until I came across an article that gastroesophageal reflux (GER) doesn&#8217;t have to include spit-up as a symptom, and that hiccups can be symptomatic. The article that caught my attention is from a site called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pollywogbaby.com\/refluxandcolic\/reflux.html\">Pollywog<\/a>, which sells yet another product to desperate parents. But at least I learned something that prompts me to call the pediatrician tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Bean had a really good day today, with the exception of fussy feedings. She didn&#8217;t starting screaming inconsolably until 5 p.m. Poor Husband got to come home to that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m trying not to worry.
