Throwing up every feed

kuljeetbaby · August 2015

My lo is almost 2 weeks now from last 2-3days he is throwing up almost every feed. Worried having appt with doc on wednesday.

Please let me know what you find out. My daughter is the same age and doing about the same thing. I figure maybe she's just eating way too much because after she throws is all back up, in about 10 minutes she'll eat again and then be fine.

Is it vomiting or spit up? My LO spits up after every meal, usually more than once. I mentioned it to the NP at my Dr office and she thought it could be reflux. I make sure we tske several breaks during feeding and burp her a couple of times, once during and once after feeding. Then, I try to keep her upright for at least 20 minutes. She still spits up sometimes, but it's not every time. Are you BF or FF?

How can you distinguish between spit up and vomit?

We had this right at 3 weeks too. But it stopped. I think it's just tiny tummys vs food. It should get better.

My lo will vomit up her whole bottle if she drinks too fast. I've learned to give her a break at about every ounce. She's not a fan of me pulling the bottle out of her mouth but it's better than the whole thing coming back up..but it's good you're going to dr to be sure

My lo spits up after feeding very often. I am ebf and I have a very heavy let down so the pediatrician says she may just be getting too much too fast. It will likely balance out as she learns how to slow the flow and my milk supply evens out. He said spitting up is very common and unless it is green, blood tinged, or unless she seems very uncomfortable it is rarely serious. I

Is it projectile?

VToman · August 2015

From what I understand, vomiting is projectile and quite a bit - more than a tablespoon - of fluid. Spit up is less than a tablespoon and not projectile. Mine spits up a lot. It doesn't seem to faze her at all...I think vomiting would upset her.

Mine is the same way. We give her breaks every half ounce or so and she HATES it. But, if I don't do that for her, she'll eat too fast and then it will all come back up.

We had the same problem with our LO and my son when he was a baby. Our pediatrician said that we could add about a teaspoon of baby rice cereal to every 2 oz bottle because it us most likely acid reflux. We did this with our son, too, and it worked for him. It seems to be working with our daughter now, too.

If it's constant ask doctor about Pyloric stenosis my son just had surgery. He had projectile vomiting all day everyday. Hope your babies are ok

I have this issue. My let down is crazy. Boobs just spraying milk. I let him latch, milk let's down, I let it spray til it stops then latch him back on. If I don't he chokes, burbs, spits up, etc. I feel awful for him!

My doctor said as long as it's not projectile across the room it's normal. And it seems like so much to us but it's really not.
