So the only time LO gets his entire meal nursing on me is first thing in the morning. Otherwise he gets a top off or most of his meal from a bottle of pumped milk as I don't have enough for him later.
I burp him in the middle of each boob (or try to) and then between. But after he's done he always spits up. Anywhere from a small amount multiple times to projectile. I keep him upright for a while..
This doesnt happen later in the day at all. Thoughts?
How content is he after one breast? If you're not emptying them out much over night you could just have a lot of milk in the morning and he's overeating a bit. ?

I had that issue with every feeding starting 3 weeks ago. 2 weeks ago we started "taking a snooze" after 1 breast or half of the bottle. Usually a 10 min break, followed by burping, then offering more. Also check positioning. I keep DS pretty upright while feeding from the breast, which also helps.

Thanks girls. Overeating sounds the most likely. It hadn't occurred to me as I didn't think I had that much milk - even in the morning after no emptying all night. But apparently I do. He actually got very sleepy after just one boob this morning (I wrote while he was eating) and he did have a little snooze, then didn't do much at all on boob2. So maybe my supply is increasing. Yay!
Re: Spit up way worse on boob than bottle.
