I'm sleep deprived today so possibly more wobbly than normal but this issue has been building for about a week now. My daughter is 3.5 weeks old and is sick all the time. She doesn't seem unhappy and I think her nappies are fine. For example, today she's had about 5 dirty/wet and 2 just wet.
It just seems like so much sick! I don't understand how she can be getting what she needs from breast milk if she's being sick so much. Occasionally it's just directly regurgitated milk (thin and white) straight after feeding but most often it's thick and creamy and she can bring it up any time up to an hour after I've fed her. And then I don't know if I need to feed her again because she's emptied out.
I just don't know if this is normal and if there's anything I can do about it. The quantities seem so much that I worry about her being sick when I'm not watching in case she chokes.
Saw midwife a few days ago who said not to worry about it as she looked fine. But midwife is quite breezy and laid back. She wasn't weighed.
Does anyone have any advice or experience? I just don't know what to do.
