My son is 15 days old and he just spit up a lot of breast milk. (He's only breast fed) should I be concerned? Should I take him to the ER? I'm freaking out.

No , happened to my son before . Turns out I didn't burp him well enough . It even came through his nose. Now after breast feeding I hold him up for 20 minutes and try to get two burps out

And my boobs were engorged when he was feeding @sassymama29

No problem . It scared me too . Especially because it came through his nose, but his dr said that some babies take longer to digest .

So he probably got a lot coming down fast . When my breast is engorged I can literally hear my son gulping. He hasn't spit up like again since . Don't worry baby is ok

@sassymama29, he does this choking thing a lot after feedings. Maybe I'm not burping him well enough

Sort of like gagging ? @pretty_n_pink if so my baby did it twice too and that was the issue as well . Wasn't burping him well enough and needed to keep him upright longer . Dr told me 20 minutes but sometimes I do 30 minutes . My baby is almost 3 months now and he is much better . Your baby will too as he gets older .

Dr said try to get at least 2 burps ( not all babies will burp ) but still try for as long as possible and keep him upright @pretty_n_pink

@sassymama29, yeah the gagging then threw up. Thank you for the advice I will try that
