DD2 is 6 weeks and has for the last week or so been vomitting up small amounts of milk following a feed. This generally comes in 20-30 minute intervals and wakes her up (and me ).
She is breastfed except for a bottle of formula just before bedtime. I am now giving her some Baby Gaviscon after this feed. She goes down beautifully (normally). It is following the night feed (somewhere between 3 and 5am) that she seems unable to settle and chucks regularly. I also give her Infacol before each feed. I have raised her cot and my HV suggested keeping her upright for longer so trying to hold her for 15-20 after a feed. This can be difficult as she wriggles a lot and obviously isn't comfortable.
Ended up sleeping with her in my arms which is a first and something I would really like to avoid.
Is it reflux (without the projectile vomitting and weight loss - she was weighed yesterday and doing brilliantly)?? Or something else??
