So DS is 9 days old and we are EBF. He managed to gain weight and he feeds really quite well. Except that he feeds, comes off looking a bit drunken and generally content. Then proceeds to pour milk from his mouth and nose. It's not curdled or yellowy at all. It is as if it hasn't touched his stomach IFYSWIM?
He doesn't seem in pain when he does this. Sometimes it is quite forceful - it went over a metre earlier!
He does appear to be stuggling with wind, he doesn't cry much, but whines and makes faces. He really wriggles and whines when pooing or farting. And then promptly falls asleep the second he's done it. It's a struggle to get the wind out of him.
His latch isn't wonderful, lots of milk escapes out the sides and I feel he draws in air as he doesn't get far enough behind the nipple and he can come off in a lazy manner.
I want to help him cope better, I do have a fast let down. I also would like to not have to change him, myself and everything around us several times a day!! We run out of baby grows and my clothes constantly and don't have a tumble drier!!
Just for context; my dd (now 2) was an amazing feeder, she struggled with wind but didn't vomit. We used infacol with her for a few months.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thanks
