acid reflux with many other problems

does anyone have any experiece with reflux not eating not crying for a bottle at all no matter how long it has been since he ate the last bottle and siezures, pyloric spasms, and sleep apnea the doctors today said that the refusing to eat and the apnea might be a problem in the brain stem so i was just wanting to know if that anyone had know of this before and knew what kind of problem it could be

HI and welcome. What a good Aunt u r ...ur nephew is lucky to have such a caring Auntie.

A baby has no way of communicating other than crying...so if an infant has distress with eating....he learns no to ask for it....by not crying.

See if a wedge pillow under his matress may help in elevating him and reduce the reflux affecting him during sleep.

Keep him in lose fiiting clothes . U did not mention if he is breast fed or on formula.

I am not a dr so I can not advise on th esleep apnea or the siezures.

Was ur nephew checked for allergies?

As to the brain stem statement by his dr...I can not comment.

Keep us posted on his progress
