a question about spit up and nursing...

Cohen spits up...a lot.  I swear, it is going to be the death of me because Rory did the same until she was almost a year old.  It is really frustrating.

Well, this week, we started trying to get him to drink from a bottle, which he had no problems with, and maybe it's a fluke but the three times he's had a bottle he hasn't spit up at all.  Then yesterday, I pumped and about 1/2 an hour later he woke up wanting to eat, so I nursed him and he didn't spit up at all then.

So now I'm starting to think that maybe it is the let down that is causing him to spit up.  Is that possible?  Because when I nursed him after pumping, I didn't have a huge let down like usual.  Does anyone have a similar experience?

    It sounds possible to me.  I know I've read about forceful letdown on kellymom but it was more in relation to having trouble nursing.  It couldn't hurt to keep pumping a little bit before nursing.

    No personal experience with this (J spits up all the time regardless of BM, formula, bottle or breast). However, my gf thinks that her flow is too fast, so she pumps first, then nurses and it seems to be working better for them.

    Maybe I will try pumping a little each time today and see what happens.  Can't hurt, I guess.

    We are doing very well!  Cohen is getting so chubby! Smile  I don't have any new photos downloaded yet...sorry!  Did you see the newborn ones on my blog?  If not, there are lots!  Rory is totally in love with him still, and she is really helpful.  In fact, I feel a little bad for Cohen because between mommy and Rory...he is constantly getting smothered with kisses!  LOL!
