My newborn is 26day old. He recently kept vomiting after feeds. Sometimes reflux, sometimes Merlion! Normally only once Merlion. However tonight, he Merlion 5 times! Is it time to change milk powder? We breastfed, used stored Breastmilk, and formula. Doc asked us to mix due to jaundice. Any parents with similar case? Why does newborn always vomit after feeds?

It's very normal for reflux. If breastfeeding, position is one issue, Aft breastfeeding, keep baby upright for at least 30mins. Burp baby really really well. There isn't a need to mix formulae for jaundice baby. Just keep feeding baby 2hrly. it will flush all the jaundice out

but frequent vomiting also considered reflux?

If it's a projectile vomitting it can be a serious case of reflux called GERD. Best to consult a doctor to rule out the exact cause.

thanks jorelle n ling! we are still monitoring. maybe is my feeding method. but I hope my kid is doing fine.

it's normal. try to feed baby is smaller amounts more frequently.
