The baby probably has congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis, which usually presents at several weeks of age. Partial surgical incision through the pylorus (pyloromyotomy) is usually curative.
Antacids (choice A) are beneficial in esophageal reflux and peptic ulcer disease.
Barium enema (choice B) can reverse intussusception in a child, but would not be therapeutic in this case.
Gastric resection (choice C) is not indicated, since the much less invasive procedure of pyloromyotomy is actually more effective.
Oral antibiotics (choice D) are not indicated, since this is not an infectious process.
