DS2 is now four months old (nearly five) and is still being really sick once or twice most days. By really sick, I mean it soaks him and me to the skin - complete change of clothes all round. He retches for about 5 minutes, and seems to throw up everything in his stomach.
It usually coincides with him having a bigger than normal feed (bf, so not entirely sure), although he always throws up immediately after any medications (antibiotics, calpol, calprofen etc). He hasn't had anything apart from milk yet, and I'm dreading starting weaning.
Is this normal? I'm probably more worried as DS1 wasn't a sicky baby at all until we started weaning him (gluten and milk intolerant), and probably only threw up 4 or 5 times by the time he was 6 months old.
Anything I can do to help? He throws up whatever position he's in - lying down, over shoulder, and it can be straight after the feed, or hours later, so I'm not sure if it's wind. He's not a particularly windy baby. It doesn't seem to bother him too much, he's a bit upset when he's throwing up, but fine afterwards, and often wants to feed again!
