My baby is 6 weeks and for the last couple of weeks he’s been really windy (farting!) and has been bringing up quite a bit of his formula after feeds, sometimes partially digested. It just rolls out of his mouth either when being burped or even half hour or an hour later. He’s been on the same formula since birth however initially I was feeding him pumped milk too. Midwife advised watery spit up suggests reflux and I agree as he can get really distressed after feeds but not consistently, some days are worse than others and sometimes it’s just one or two feeds where it happens.
One health visitor said absolutely no anti reflux or hungry baby for a 6 week old, and another said no problem trying it, so I’m confused! He only poo’s once a day so I’m scared he’ll get constipated with thicker milk but equally I want his food to stay down!
Has anyone got any experience with this? We did try it once with a level 3 teat and he got really exasperated trying to drink it so I didn’t force it and went back to first infant milk with a level 1 teat, but willing to try again.
I weighed him myself and he hasn’t gained in the last week which makes me think he lost a bit of weight when his spit up was at its worst (which we seem to have passed thankfully)
