Second GP I took him to said it sounds like reflux and prescribed omeprozole. It hasn’t made any difference and is sti...

My 7wks old gets really mad when I’m feeding her if take the bottle out she’ll start screaming and kicking, breathing heavily and moving her head around I get scared when she starts moving uncontrollably and behaving like this. Should I worry or this is normal for hungry baby ?
