Is this reflux?

Hello! My baby is 4 weeks old. In the past week she started fussing on the bottle, where she looks hungry takes the bottle then spits it out and cries then takes it again. She still seems hungry after finishing her bottle so I give her more but then she throws up a lot after that, so makes me think I over fed her.
Is this reflux?

Reflux is more of bringing milk up during and after feeds. It normally isn’t a huge amount but quite frequent.

If she’s projectile vomiting, refusing her bottles, is sick after/during and in between feeds, scrunching her legs up and going bright red but also crying constantly during the feeds and after/in between it could be a sign of a milk allergy x

she spits up mostly, but in the past few days projectile vomited a few times. It doesnt smell of acid. When crying at bottle yes she gets very worked up and inconsolably crying.

she spits up a lot, like multiple times during the same feed. Im feeding her mostly breastmilk in a bottle.

Maybe be worth going doctors and see if they can give her anything for it.

How’s her poos? Is there any blood/mucus in them? If so may be worth taking out dairy from your diet and see how she is x

Do you sit her upright to feed her ? @julia my daughter was exactly as you describe,,but she doesn't have cmpa she had very bad reflux ,due to immature valve to the stomache.

I’m just speaking from experience as I was told my baby had really bad reflux but it turned out that it was a cows milk allergy hence why I suggested x

CMPA can cause reflux as makes stomach contents more acidic I think, so could be either or both.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
