5 month old sick after feeds still

Hi, just wanted a bit of advice. My 5 and half month old dd is very sicky after most feeds. It's not projectile but also more than possesting. It can sometimes be straight after and also sometimes a couple hours after milk (formula fed). I don't really think its reflux as its not aggressive and she's not bothered by it (could be wrong tho!). I'm going to mention to HV but wondered if anyone had any advice as to what I can do. I feel like I should be helping her! Or do babies at this age still be sick alot?! Thank you

My ds was still sick after most feeds at that age. It is only the last week ( he is now 8.5 months) that it has stopped.

My 5mo is still quite sicky, sometimes straight after a feed, sometimes a load of watery milk 2.5 hours later. It doesn't seem to bother him though and HV said as long as he's not dropping down the centiles then it shouldn't be an issue.

My now 7m DS was like this and it's only recently that the worst of it has stopped. I honestly look back and wonder if he was a tad overfed (I still worry about that now).

Do you think that could be a possibility?

I know what you mean, I don't think she really is though. Sleeps 13 hours a night and goes 4 hours between feeds. HV said she may have slight reflux but will stop once she starts weaning etc so should just wait it out and see how we go!
