Can someone give me advice on what could be wrong? Rocky is spitting up after he eats and it just keeps coming and coming and it looks like he's pushing it up too. It soaks his entire body by the time he's done and I have to undress him and clean him up and it happens all at once.. I'm super worried about him. He's still gaining weight and having wet diapers but spitting up so much can't be good. I know everyone says sometimes it seems like a lot but it's actually not, but this is definitely a lot of spit up.
@mommy.to.be.041016, thank you I really do appreciate it I'll let you know what the nurse says when she calls back about getting him on meds
I gave him that too it helped for a little bit just letting you know girl (: hope your baby gets to feeling better
@mommy.to.be.041016, well he poops but not all day at least once or twice and sometimes we give him gas drops
yeah I thought my son had acid reflux but his spitting up got so bad it soaked me and him and it kept him from nearly breathing and he didn't poop but peed well we went to his doctor and told me we needed to go to the hospital within the next 24 hours he had to have surgery cause he had pyloric stenosis which can cause them not to poop so everything is backed up and that's why he spit up a lot luckily that doctor saved his life I'm not trying to scare you but I warn first time moms about this cause it'd common for firstborn male babies to have it and don't show signs til about five weeks. just to be safe I would call your babies doctor and ask his doctor about pyloric stenosis cause you'll need to get an ultrasound done on his tummy to find out if he has it or not
@silassmommy512, I give him gas drops occasionally
you could call his dr and see, it helps little gassy tummies tho
Yeah I made him more immediately @silassmommy512 but I only let him eat a little over an ounce of that two ounces and he's sleeping now. And no I'm just scared to give him anything because he's not even to his due date yet it's the fourteenth of this month and I didn't know if he could have that being a preemie
that sounds like what my son does lol.. you know when he's hungry cuz he's your lo so I would say to feed him.. do you have gripe water?
See I tried that he's eating three sometimes four ounces so I was going to give him two ounces every two hours but he wasn't having that he got done and I sat him in his swing and he started sucking on his hand and screaming which is what he does when he's hungry @silassmommy512 😔
he could just be spitting up because he's getting use to the formula plus it's been changed on him.. you could feed him less but more frequent too.. as long as he's gaining weight it shouldn't be a problem but if he's not than something could be wrong
Yeah they told me if he needs a special kind of formula his doctor can write a note for them @silassmommy512
possibly. I know my wic place has a form your dr can fill out so you can get the type of formula you need
@silassmommy512, right now I'm using similac advance but he just got switched to it because wic didn't cover the stuff he was using so could he be spitting up so much because he's switching formulas?
I had to use the similac spit up for awhile because my son has acid reflux as well. I would suggest that since it is a thicker formula. and also maybe he has a sensitivity to milk.. you can try a sensitive formula or similac with the light purple lid. @rockysmommy
@aboutellesbabe, he does have it but I've tried everything it says to do and it's not working @silassmommy512 he burps really well really loud too I'm calling his doc tomorrow
Maybe he has acid reflux? I've read stuff about it and that is what it sounds like! I don't have any first hand experience though. Definitely look it up though! Apparently it can be a pretty easy fix!
try the similac spit up formula. and make sure he burps really well momma. if it continues take him to his dr!
My son just turned 4 months and he eats a lot like 5 ounces every 2 - 3 hours is that bad ? Should I start introducing him to cereal ? He's on enfamil formula maybe mixing cereal in his milk will keep his tummy full for a longer time ? I don't want to be over feeding him , he also spits up a lot & sometimes I have a really hard time getting his gases out he randomly gets these tantrums out of nowhere because he has trapped gas & the only way he calms down is if I pick him up and walk around the ...
Biggest Baby on BB
I know I don't have the biggest baby here but I know he's right up there.
I don't know what to do, I have fed him like 6 times since 9:30 and he still seems to want more. But he keeps spitting up and spitting it out after awhile. And won't sleep and just cries and shoves his hands in his mouth and opens his mouth. Then he falls asleep for a bit and I put him down and 5 mins later he's crying. 😞
Has anyone else thought of this nonsense with her being weird, not having consistent information etc. as seeming a whole lot like the beginning of Glee with the fake pregnancy?!
my son has been bad spitting up, he's on simlac sensitive. is there something i can give him to help with the spit up?
okayy girl
