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 :)
