Constantly vomiting baby

Hi,

DS2 (just over a month old) constantly vomits. Sometimes it's just the usual posseting, but several times a day it's full on projectile vomiting. He doesn't seem uncomfortable when feeding (he's mix fed) but sometimes afterwards seems to be straining and does seem unhappy. The health visitor seemed a bit rubbish and didn't suggest anything. Any ideas? He's got his six week check soon so I'll obviously bring it up with the doctor. Any experiences? HV said he'd probably grow out of it but couldn't offer any ideas as to when that may be. DS1 never had this, and DD (DS2's twin) doesn't seem to have these problems. I've been watching him this morning, and he doesn't go more than 20 minutes without some vomit coming up, poor little guy. He's gaining weight appropriately, but I'm sure this much sick can't be normal can it?

DD was like this, massive projectile vomiting and screaming uncomfortable after feeds. I got told this is just what normal babies do, your just a tired first time mum ya ya ya I left the surgery in tears and I'm not a cryer normally.....it wasn't until she started pooing blood that we finally got taken seriously by a doctor. Turns out she's cmpi and voilà the problem was solved. HmmAngry Go see the GP but trust your instincts and keep pushing if you feel something is really not right and you're not getting what you need.

Im not sure how common Chiropractic for babies is in your part of the world but because of the shape of a babies spine (C curve rather than an S like in adults) the vomiting may be because the stomach isn't getting quite the right messages because that area of the spine is stressed. Could be worth a try
