10mo sick after every bottle

For the past couple of weeks, my 10mo has been bringing up some milk after feeds. Sometimes more than others. He’s never sick after his solids and is still wanting to be fed and is getting heavier by the day!

Is this normal reflux? Should this happen so late on? We’re going to try a different brand of formula in case it’s Cow & Gate.

Should I phone GP? He’s fine in every other way apart from getting over a cold/cough but we’ve all had that in the house.

Is he just getting too full up? Have you tried offering him smaller milk feeds? You can offer them more frequently if you're concerned about keeping his milk intake up. Do you offer milk before or after solid food? You could try switching this up a bit or spreading things out more.
My DS was a bit sicky around this age. I was breastfeeding on demand not bottle feeding, and I think he was just very full up at times. He was also moving round more - rolling/bouncing etc. - and I don't think that helped. Once he was eating more solids, taking less milk and spending more time upright things improved!

I did think am I over feeding him but I’m also worried sometimes he’s not getting enough as we’re trying finger foods a lot more so you’re unsure as to how much he’s actually eating and not just smushing in his hands haha!
At the minute, his routine has just gone out the window because his naps are all over the place so it’s hard to establish a good feeding routine.
He is also rolling and bending all over the place, so it could be that.
I’ll try mixing things up a bit and see if that works, thanks!
I miss breastfeeding so much! Life was simpler in some ways

My son used to this after a bottle of formula. He’s 14 now and fit as a fiddle
