Reflux???
My 2 week old in the last few days has started bringing up abit of milk/sick 5 minutes or so after a feed. It’s not masses, and other than a few minutes of fussing before he throws up he’s a very happy and content baby. Other than sitting him up after feeding, and trying to slow his feeds, is there anything I can do to help? Or is this just part of having a baby?😅
It makes me extremely anxious as I’m terrified of him choking on his sick.
Thanks in advance, a very anxious first time mum! X

I’m experiencing this as well🥲 it makes me so anxious when feeding him at night when I put him back down as sometimes it’s such a delayed reaction and he’s sick like 20 minutes after😥
@Toya it’s terrifying isn’t it! Even when he’s sound asleep in his crib, I can’t sleep because I’m so on edge and anxious checking on him!
It's perfectly normal to bring up a little bit after being fed https://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/resources/bringing-up-milk#:~:text=This%20spilling%20of%20milk%20happens,posseting%20or%20bringing%20up%20milk.

Sitting up and pace feeding is a good idea. I used to burp my daughter after she drank an ounce so that she doesn’t guzzle down a whole bottle and then struggle to burp it up. That way she would then burp several times and would stop her from spitting up. BUT it’s all part of having a baby tbh, some are more sucky than others. My first daughter was SO sicky and colicy, whereas my 2 week old just isn’t at all!
