Baby is being sick

Ive had the exact same, midwife and health visitor told me it typically isn’t anything to worry about and it’s their stomach adjusting as our milk changes and gets richer. If baby isn’t distressed and just bringing up more but still doing plenty of dirty nappies it’s likely they’re just taking in too much milk at one time, burp periodically through the feed and try and feed with them more upright and that can help. The rugby ball hold is great for ensuring they’re sat more upright. Definitely don’t start cutting out dairy without consulting your GP. I’d say monitor it over the next few days if it’s start becoming projectile or a concerning amount frequently then chat to your GP! X

Worth checking temperature and keeping an eye on wet / dirty nappies to rule out a bug as it is that time of year. As long as those things are okay I'd guess it's probably normal. My first was very sicky and I remember that increasing about 3 weeks when she had a growth spurt. I think combo of taking more milk because of growth and stomach capacity increasing made it look like way more sick at that point. Also does your little one have a cold / sniffles at all? (Mine does at the moment and seen lots of posts about sniffles) That can cause them to bob on and off a bit more and consequently take in more air which can cause bigger burps and whatever is sitting above that burp will come up! I'd always avoid pumping to deal with a potential oversupply or fast let down issue as it's a bit of a vicious cycle. My first who was sicky just gradually grew out of it and adjusted to my supply / let down. Having to change baby and sheets multiple times in the night is frustrating though!

Try burping her after every feed. She may not burp as she’s breastfed but best to sit her down for 10-15 minutes so that the milk settles in her belly. Also, if you have a heavy milk supply, you can try the laid back/ reclined position to feed her

I’m currently going through the same thing with my nearly 4 week old! I’ve found it’s worse when his struggling to bring up wind so now I’m trying to wind him half way through a feed if he unlatches and again at the end. I’m also trying to keep him more upright when feeding and holding him for 15-20mins after a feed upright as well. It has gotten better but he is definitely more sicky and uncomfortable if he hasn’t brought up wind especially at night. ☺️

My son was like this and my daughter is beginning to be like this too. We went through all the processes of me cutting out dairy to see if it was an intolerance and taking him to a doctor, and I convinced myself it wasn’t reflux as he wasn’t in any pain or discomfort. Turns out it was just a case of reflux/ him being a sicky baby! We found it was worse at night as he was sleepier and not swallowing and digesting as effectively, and because laying down in a cot it’s easier to come back up. He’d regularly bring up a whole feed but it never bothered him or seemed to cause him any trouble, except he was a little slower to put on weight. I kept an eye on his wet and dirty nappies to make sure he wasn’t getting dehydrated but otherwise he slowly grew out of it by about nine months. I found breastfeeding upright in the rugby ball position and then keeping him upright for 20ish minutes after feeds helped. Also taking him off more frequently to burp him. Hope this helps X

Thank you everyone for advices and tips! I will sound daft but I cannot really figure out how to effectively burp my baby? 🙈 She's heavy so when I try to put her on my shoulder she's just hanging uncomfortably and usually hates it, so I prefer holding her on my lap suppirting her bum/back and head being upright but that worries me as read babies shouldn't be encouraged into sitting positions before sitting. Also for the rugby hold how does it work having baby upwards? 👀👀😅 I used to do that position but she was always proper lying down flat. Clearly new mum here 🙈

Rather than the traditional rugby ball hold, I would put my son facing me upright so he was vertical rather than laying down! Hopefully that makes sense? I have burped both my little ones sitting on my lap the way you are and found that most effective. It’s for maximum a minute so unlikely to have any lasting effects and my son hasn’t been affected by it 18 months later. The lesser of two evils I suppose? A minute in a seated position to not be in pain? But do what feels right for you! 💗
