my 1 month old is exclusively breastfed, she spits up and poops a lot. I'm thinking of stopping breastfeeding, maybe I'm hurting her? any other mommies deal with this? any suggestions or should I just start formula?
Don't stop! I had the same exact problem with my son but it got better. We are still breastfeeding!
babies spit up that is normal. my son vomits and spits up but the vomit is due to reflux and a dairy intolerance. babies that age should poop alot
@reznor, I did everything. I burbed between feeds, I didn't put him down right after feeding, and nothing worked. But as he got older it got better. I would cry when he spit up and it was a lot. At 4 months my pediatrician suggested I put rice cereal in his breastmilk. Did for couple weeks and didn't help. But it does get better.
don't give up though.. take her to the Dr to see what the issue might be
@amaresmama, yes , but let's say she eats I burp her and then sit her up. 30 min later I'll at her down to change her diaper and when I pick her up after boom there's the spit up. or let's say I'm feeding her she just finishes. from the point of her at my breasts to putting her over my shoulder shell spit up . its so frustrating😕
I love breastfeeding her. it would break my heart to stop and not have that bond. hopefully I can keep it up for that long😻
@nurseriri, I'm scared it is hurting her and I don't know it. but same here I'm sure its bothering me more than her. its frustrating having to constantly change her clothes and I'm always burping her trying to do everything I can so she doesn't and then boom it happens
@reznor, nooooo don't stop. My son spit up for 3 months straight. It wasn't reflux. Pediatrician wasn't worried one bit because he was pooping and peeing and gaining weight adequately. Once he's not painful when spitting up its normal. It bothered me more than him. And newborn poop a lot with every change. But breastfeeding is the best thing you can do for your baby. I've been exclusively breastfeeding 61/2 months.
im just afraid my milk is making her sick. . its probably more frustrating than anything because she spits up and wants to eat more then ends up vomiting from over eating and then is hungry all over again.
no don't stop breastfeeding...she might have reflux... all babies spit up though...it gets better for them as their little digestive systems mature. my son is 7 months and he rarely spits up now
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
need suggestions....
So at work we have a drink thief. Any time we put a drink in the fridge it disappears. I swear I know who it is. So far he's taken drinks from everyone that works in the office, we even put a sign to not take anything you didn't pay for and wrote our names on the drinks. The person I think is taking them works out of the office so we never get to see who is drinking them.

Don't stop. you're doing fine, spit up is normal and lots of poop is good lol. I've heard not to lay baby flat for a bit after a feeding. Also, try to burp after a few minutes of nursing instead of just burping at the end. :)
