and my daughter went through like 2 weeks of spitting up A LOT after every feeding. it was terrible. but I made sure to burp her after every feeding and kept her upright for at least 30 minutes which helped some, and now she really doesn't spit up much at all.. So there are so many different things it could be.. you could have a crazy overactive letdown which let's baby eat a lot at one time without really realizing it, could be reflux or an allergy. but even if it's an allergy you won't necessarily have to switch to formula

join the group on facebook called Expressions! Lactation Services. they can help a lot! it's run by an IBCLC and there are LCS in the group that can give good reliable information. you don't have to stop breastfeeding, and thickening milk isn't safe to do.. especially for babies under 6 months. There is all kinds of info in the group. if you request to join the group send me your Facebook name and I will "vouch" for you so you get added quicker

Yeah my son spits up no matter what I do. Some days more than others. He's fed and happy so I've just accepted it.

He might have acid reflux, and can be prescribed Zantac or other meds to take care of the problem. Try keeping him upright for 30 minutes after he eats and make sure you burp him adequately and that may also help. You can also pump and thicken the feeds with your doctor's approval and say so, and that's usually done with rice cereal.

I read a diet change can help but I have no idea where to start on mine. I eat well balanced meals so it's not like I'm eating junk or alot of gassy foods either. I also drink alot of milk and eat dairy and I read some babies have an allergy to that as well. He couldn't tolerate regular formula he has to be on gentlease.

I cried about it. I was so upset. I made it 3 weeks. I even tried again the other day and immediatley he threw it all back up. Sorry, not trying to discourage you.

@jacesterlingsmommy, no :( I want to breastfeed! I hope that's not our problem:(

Mine did the exact same thing too. He would also get bad belly aches and gas. I tried formula and haven't had the problem anymore.
