A: My daughter did this same thing, she had GERD...and acid reflux disease. My husband and I didn't know what was wrong with her either until we took her to Texas Children's ER one night...they admitted her and did a lot of test. When they found out that it was a reflux disease they started her on 3 different medicines, every time she would eat she would get one of the meds. They also changed her formula to AR. It totally changed her, she was a different child. They also had to place her on a apnea heart monitor, that she wore while sleeping because her reflux was so bad that it would come up her esophagus and stay there, the acid would cause her to hold her breathe and her heart rate would decrease to extreme limits. It is not something to mess around with, from experience I would get her seen as soon as possible, they told us at times they even have to preform surgery to correct the problem (if it is really extreme) my little kirsten is now 18 mths old and was just now taken off the apnea monitor and meds, she was 4 months old when she was diagnosed... good luck..from one mommy to another.
