A placid 4-week-old formula-fed baby has vomited feeds since the first week of life. Her maternal grandmother is convinced that the baby is ill. The mother is also concerned but says that the baby feeds well. You confirm that she has gained weight normally, and find no clinical abnormality. You SHOULD
(A) reassure the mother and tell her to ignore anyone who says the child is ill.
(B) explain that the baby probably has gastro-oesophageal reflux.
(C) arrange barium swallow and meal.
(D) arrange suprapubic aspiration of urine for microscopy and culture.
(E) advise that the formula be diluted to make it more digestible.
