Hi all. DS is 12wks and ebf. He has always been quite a sicky baby and was described by the gp at his 6 week check as a 'happy chucker' - he often brought milk straight back up again after a feed and it rarely bothered him.
The past I would say 3 weeks he has been vomiting more and more. The vomit is thick and mucousy and smells like proper vomit. Often it is between feeds, so sometimes an hour after feeding. I know when he's going to vomit because he is tense and agitated and whinges before it comes up. Afterwards he often cries. Today for example he did quite well, only a couple of chuck ups all day, then this evening he vomited 6 times in half an hour.
Every time I speak to a hcp they tell me babies are just sick and not to worry but when does it become an issue?
He is quite a big baby, was 7lb15 at birth and last week was 14lb4. I weighed him today and he is 14lb exactly so lost those 4 ounces in the past week when the vomiting has worsened. Would you be concerned and should I go to GP? Worried they will just think me neurotic! Thanks
