edited July 2011 in Breastfeeding
So I've been breastfeeding my 18 day old from a bottle, he also latches on when ever I have him too. But for the past few days he has been spitting up a lot! Everythime we fed him. He wasn't like this before. Do I have bad milk, or is it cuz of what I eat? Idk what to do. Plz help

    My son had the same problem...found out later he was lactose intolerant. He was getting it from me eating dairy products. I agree check w your pediatrician. Also helped us to journal his meantime, ounces took if from bottle, & if he spit up. But it could very well be he is eating more than he can keep down. Try not to stress...just keep an eye on it. And burp more frequently.
  • my daughter is 22 days old, she spits up too. I asked her pediatrician as well as the lactation consultant, they said same thing as @caffeinated_katie but my daughter isnt using bottles, I'm afraid that flow would def be too fast for her... Good luckk
  • have the doctor check his stomach and digestive system
  • Acid reflux?

  • @HomeBirthAdvocate, he eats 3oz each feeding and every 30 ml I burp him, and he still spits. Today he hasn't as much. But I pump and I feed him with a bottle. And when he is done with all his milk he is still searching. I mean throwing his head waay back to find my nipple, so I latch him on, he sucks and falls asleep. Idk maybe he jus has his days of spitting up
  • My girl is doing same thing. She does it on the breast and with the bottle. I think she's over eating. She only weighs 5.9 lbs. Stomach can't be very big.
