Baby could have reflux or if your breastfeeding the let down may be causing this

@I'esha I feed her from a bottle

Are you holding the bottle at a slant so your not force feeding?

What flow rate nipple are you using? My 2 week old does this if I use a faster flow. It could also be some trapped air in the nipple. Phillips has a colic bottle that helps with air flow.

@Alexandra I use the nipple the hospital give One purple and one blue

Mine does. I know it’s because of my letdown, my first had trouble with it too. Make sure you get some good burps in!

@Maddy I’ve noticed it’s usually cuz it’s coming out too fast for their liking. Try finding a bottle with a slower feed! It suck cuz it takes longer but worth it in the long run cuz she takes more and seems much more comfortable!

Mine did, so we switched to a premie nipple

@Maddy like others said possibly taking in too much air or nipple flow is too much letdown

Our pediatrician told us most babies drink fast and often swallow too much air — she recommended we burp our little one every 2/3 minutes to avoid over feeding/drinking too fast

Feed the baby on their side with only half nipple full. It helps the milk not go in so fast and helps them be able to swallow better. Preemie mom here. That’s what the nicu told me to do with my 2nd.

@Justice I tried this earlier and the way my daughter REVOLTED was hilarious😭 I was like damn I was trying to help you but nvm. Shakin yo lil head like a crazy woman
