My son is 4 days old and I'm breastfeeding. Every time he eats he throws up. I called the dr they told me he's over eating he eats just about every hr. Any ideas of why he's throwing up? I'm really scared thinking my milk is bad
I never thought about that😳 is there certain things I should not eat? I've been craving lots of fruit and nuts.
try feeding him every two hours. if he gets fussy just try playing with him or bounce him a little
Just over eating and throwing up what his stomach can't take. My baby does it. Some people might tell you that breastfed babies don't over eat but I personally don't believe it.
It's not your milk. Sounds like you have a great supply already. You more than likely just need to wait until he slows down a bit during a feed and burp him. Also, try feeding him in a more upright position such as laid back. He could be swallowing air due to a poor latch and adjusting that could solve the problem. Don't give up! The internet has tons of research to help you out.
The dr. Just called me I guess the gal I talked to was a nurse. The dr. Said breastfed babies will stop eating when they are full and that he could be swallowing air. And that I shouldn't worry.
