Just looking to see if anyone else has experienced this and any tips?
DD is just over two weeks and EBF (EBF her sister til nearly two and luckily she has taken to it just as well). We were just starting to get the occasional projectile vomit (we get the usual posset and a bit more but this is much more forceful and in greater volume) when we saw HV and last midwife appt but both said try infacol and see how you go. But I'm not sure it's wind as such, as although she is very windy she does seem to bring it up, or down, easily.
Reading the LLL site I'm wondering if it's more oversupply/let down issue as the vomiting is much worse during the night and first morning feed. I've tried the feeding positions suggested and block feeding and they haven't yet helped, block feeding I'm worried about mastitis at this early stage as well. So I guess my next step is to try to catch/express the initial flow to take the edge off? I've started infacol today too just to see.
DD is generally a placid, cheerful baby, very grungy and with some back arching coming in now but at the moment she saves her crying for having her nappy done. I was going to hang on til the 6 week appointments but I feel so sorry for her when she's sick that I will get in touch before then. But you can't beat the collective wisdom of Mumsnet for things to try and/or ask about, can you?
Do want to keep BF if possible but not adverse to mixed feeding if that might help in some way. Her big sister wasn't sicky at all so I've no trucks up my sleeve for this yet!
