my baby has been spiting up alot lately. the last time i feed him he spit up like 4 times. Im almst sure he spit up everything he ate, but he doesnt cry when he does it. how can i fix or reduce the number of times he spits up???
@bke913@usmcwifemommy101107@2beforgotten@beautiful_altar hes 6 weeks and i feed like 4-5 ozs every 3-4 hours. he eats Enfamil Newborn and has had it since he was 2 weeks when i stopped breastfeeding. he just started his spit up stuff like a week or two ago but its getting worse. at first it was like once a feeding and now its two- four times a feeding and he does burp after every feeding. i try inbetween and he he wont. I try and keep him in a up right position after feedings.
If he doesn't seem to notice when he's spitting up then it is most likely not a reflux problem. He may be eating too much or eating too quickly, try feeding him less more frequently and see if that helps.
6oz is alot.. but i would try feeding him 2-3 oz.. burp him till you get one and then feed him the rest .. and burp him again .. i know when you bottle feed that alot of times the milk comes so fast baby over eats
My daughter is 15 weeks and eats that much. My doc told me anything more than 4 ounces at that age is too much, so perhaps he is over eating. I was over feeding my daughter and she was spitting up a ton, but once my doc told me I was probably over feeding her, I cut back and sure enough, she stopped spitting up large amounts. She spits up now, but its like a dribble of spit up.
@kindell, I have the same problem with my son, he is 9wks now, but when he was 6wks I took him to his Dr. And told him that I have done everything, like finding less more frequently. Burping him a lot. Nething and everything in the book. And he still spit up. The Dr. Put him on liquid Zantac and he has been on it for almost 3wks and it has worrked really well for us. He still spits up but nothing compared to b4. But I still get a good spit up once ina while.
My daughter had the exact same problem... And when she spit up it was a ton and she was on the same formula... I tried feeding less, burping in between,zantac, my doctor even told me to put rice cereal in her bottle... Nothing helped... My dad kept telling me to put her on prosobee (soy) she still spits up but its way bettet than before.. I would try soy..good luck mama
