11wo ds has started vomiting copious amounts - entire feeds it looks like - with the milk shooting several feet out of his mouth. He's happy and smiley after being sick, and the GP has said he's just eating too much in one go, and to give him more frequent smaller feeds.
He was already a fairly frequent feeder (bf on demand, generally every 1-2 hours) but I've been trying today splitting each feed into several "courses" with breaks in between. But although he hasn't been sick he cries furiously during the breaks
After a painful start, I have really enjoyed the last few weeks of bf. But now I've got a screaming baby who I can't comfort with feeding otherwise I'll make him sick, and I daren't feed in public anymore so am tied to the house. Yesterday he drenched me, my t-shirt, jeans, shoe and left a big puddle on the floor when we went to visit his dad's friends .
I feel like I'm losing all my hard-won confidence. The vomiting only started Wednesday but has got progressively worse till today with the smaller unhappier feeds. Does anyone else have any experience of this? How long till this passes?
