My baby kept throwing out some milk at least 1 hour after feeding.

I did the burping method after each feeding but still the same. And because of the throwings...she tends to crave for more milk afterwards. What should i do??#pleasehelp #1stimemom

hello fellow FTM! i went through the same thing as you when my baby was in her first month. almost every feed, she will spit up milk, sometimes even after a 2-3 hr nap. tried all sorts of method like keeping her upright, burping, smaller but more frequent feeds. all doesn’t work.. she will still regurgitate, and sometimes she will cry for more milk after that as well. i’ll feed as long as baby demands for it, even after the throw up. have asked PD, and was advised that as long as baby is gaining weight or doesn’t seem to be in pain or uncomfortable when throwing up the milk, then it should be okay because baby’s digestive system may not have matured that well yet and regurgitation or small spit ups are normal. it will get better as baby gets older. my baby is coming 3 months now and i can see improvement, but will still occasionally throw up milk after feeding she can still smile and play after that though (what the PD called a happy spitter) so i’m sure you don’t have to worry too much :)

it's the same for mine too. just started bringing her to see tcm at yuguo 2 weeks back. was told I overfeed her and she has indigestion, therefore her tummy is bloated and sounds like watermelon when u tap on it. she has shown great improvement (no more throwing up of curd like milk and throw up only a small amount of milk sometimes) after going through a few sessions of tcm massage n attaching a herbal patch to her naval.

my baby will throw out after feeding at least once per day during night feeding.. and she will still smile at me after that...oh no!!! but she will still want milk after that...I give it to her just enough for her to sleep. asked PD and will advise to give more feed and less amount of milk then

may help to carry baby in a more upright position for at least half an hour after each feed, even if they have burped, as it takes time for the milk to digest

Super Mum

Perhaps try lesser amounts at higher frequencies?

Try lesser quantity first?
