My 3 week old DD is feeding well (EBF), roughly every 2 hours but essentially on demand so sometimes more often, sometimes less. She's had a cold for about a week but seems to be over the worst of it. However, she's been left with a cough which sounds horrific at times, like she's retching and trying to cough up mucous, etc. Since having the cold, and the cough, she's been vomiting (sometimes projectile) a few times a day, and also sometimes lets out little shrieks whilst she' asleep. When she's shrieking she looks in pain, and then goes straight back to sleep again.
I'm just wondering whether these symptoms are part and parcel of a newborn cold, or whether she's suffering from reflux. FWIW, she's generally a happy content little thing, rarely cries, and sleeps pretty well, both day and night. It's just the coughing and then sickiness that is quite distressing to watch.
The GP has checked her chest over and said it's clear, but I don't know whether I should revisit and ask about the retching and being sick.
