hi my 2 week old is vomiting his milk after breasted. It usually happens about 5-10 minutes post feed. He does not seem upset or in pain prior to vomiting. He's having wet/dirty nappies and when awakens alert. I didn't think breasted babies suffered refund/wind. Any advice/suggestions greatly appreciated.

Sounds perfectly normal. My two always spat up. It is a myth that breastfed babies don't get wind, but anyway babies spit up because the sphincter at the top of their tum is not developed fully and sometimes because they guzzle a bit much milk.
Just keep on feeding him whenever he wants and this will settle own in time.

My dd2 (exclusively bf) vomited every day for the first 3 weeks or so, but she's now 6 weeks, and hasn't done it for quite a while, so I expect yours will settle down soon. For me, I think it was happening due to her guzzling the milk down a bit fast, in combination with me having oversupply.

In contrast my FF never ever vomited and my friends EBF had horrific reflux. Babies just don't read the book.
