LO has had 2 major throw ups now, bad burp or overate?
Has anyone's breast fed LO had this? Mine is 7 wks so 2 throw ups is not a major concern but I feel bad when this haPpens even though he shows NO signs of discomfort... I do however then end up being covered in milk and then the worry that I should have cut him off??? Also, then I wonder when to feed him again + how much? I will ask pedi @ next appt but wanted to hear if any of you have had this haPpen.

Throw up or spit up?
If spit up, then LO likely over ate, and then, just feed him the next time he shows hunger cues, and try to feed him slightly less. And yes, I've definitely had LO spit up on me bc he over ate.
If throw up, I don't really know the answer.
Is it while he's eating, when you're burping him, or sometime after? My LO is a major spit monster sometimes it seems like he yaks his whole feeding up. I find this happens if a) he's eating too fast b) he's eating too much c) has a burp that is stuck.
I would just continue on your regular feeding schedule. Mention it to your pedi though.
ditto this.
Since it's only happened twice and your LO is 7 weeks, I'd guess a burp was stuck or your LO ate too much/too fast. My DS has reflux and spits up all the time in quantity. Sometimes he will dump several ounces and need to eat again.
Was the spit up projectice and that's why you called it vomit? Was it normal color? DS spit up bright yellow once, that's something to call your pedi about asap.
