What to Do If Your Baby Drinks Milk Unhappily?

Your baby often drinks milk unhappily, but you’re not sure why. They want to drink but throw up after a few sips, then they’re eager to drink again. They arch their back and twist their head while drinking, but this doesn’t happen when they breastfeed. Your milk supply is low, so you have to add formula. You’ve checked their mouth and there are no issues like thrush or ulcers, and the milk isn’t too hot or too cold. You suspect it might be an abdominal issue, but they’ve been drinking mom’s love milk all along, and they seem to have a bit of an upset stomach with a small pimple under the chin and a rash-like appearance on their face. You’ve been washing them promptly to prevent the rash from worsening. They eat more calmly when they’re very hungry. Here’s the basic situation. Can you tell me why my baby behaves this way? Thank you in advance for the expert advice.
