Baby vomit milk

3weeks old baby girl admitted to KKH due to vomiting 2times (huge amount). Doctor did blood test, result came out normal. I was asked to reduced her breast milk intake. She stop vomiting but spit out milk. We did burp her after every feed. Baby also having constipation for 5days. Any mummies ever encounter the same problem before?

At that age, my LO was always spitting out milk too, sometimes vomiting. It’s likely just regurgitation.. only improved after about 2 months. In fact, after burping out some air, some milk will come out as well. When you say constipation, do you mean your LO has not passed motion at all? Or does she seem to strain when passing?

Perhaps it’s because of all the vomiting. Continue to feed her the smaller amounts each time, then when you sit her up to burp her, do it very gradually to minimise regurgitation. If she doesn’t express discomfort, then can wait a few more days to see if she poops.
