Baby vomits a lot but seems unbothered

Hi all. DS is 11 weeks old and exclusively breastfed. Since he was around four weeks old he's spat up/vomited a lot, pretty much after every feed and up to an hour afterwards. Laying him down, picking him up, feeding him.. Spew!

He's growing very well (on 98th percentile for weight and length) and the vomiting doesn't seem to phase him. Occasionally he might writhe around or cry before he vomits, but 95% of the time he seems unbothered.

Because it doesn't seem to bother him and he's still gaining weight well, I don't see the point in medicating him. However, I must admit that the endless washing of sicky clothes and bedding and the frequent outfit changes (for both me and him!) are getting rather old 😂

Did anyone else have a 'happy spitter'? When did it improve? Thank you 😊

my first was like this she spat up all the time nothing i could do she was just a sicky baby.Apparently its a thing in my family,i learnt to not mess her around for about 30 mins after she ate.Let her tummy settle would help a little and i found if i ate spicy food that would affect my milk .Use these bibs they stop their clothes becoming soggy and smelly .Just remember to take them off before bed.I would double layer and tuck in a muslin cloth around of the head end of her Moses basket
