Newborn sick

[Mummapenguin20]

Any advice welcome,

My 4 week old is sick after every bottle, sometimes a little other times a whole bottle, today he has had 15oz of formula in5 hours!!

Normally he has 4oz every 3 is this normal

She’s probably cluster feeding but if it goes on for more than a few days look into it because there could be issues with digestion/allergies to dairy.

Does it still happen of you feed baby 3oz?

If it does, I would contact your gp first thing in the morning.

Sickness straight after a bottle is normally reflux, we are foster carers and have come across this issue a few times. You can get anti-reflux baby milk which if I am correct will fix the vomiting straight away, but just check that it is one that is suitable for very young babies. From memory I think cow and gate ant-reflux is from birth.

The only down side with anti-reflux milk is it is thicker and with your baby being so young, their body isn't quite ready for it. It quite often causes some constipation, so speak to your health adviser first.

We have generally found that anti-reflux milk was the lesser of the two evils and after a few weeks, their body seems to get used to the thicker formula.

My LO did this loads. He was such a sicky baby. I took him to the doctors so many times over it and they just said he'd grow out of it. And he did but he was close to a year old when he finally stopped. You'll find you get through a lot more laundry than parents of non-sicky babies
