So I called my babies pediatrician and expressed my concern about gastric reflux. She said not to worry about it as long as it's minor. Which it is. But every time I go to lay the baby down on her back after a feeding milk comes out of her nose. Even after I've held her upright for 45-60 min. It's hard to keep her asleep because she wakes up from the milk coming out of her nose. Could I be feeding her too much? She's 4 weeks. Please share your feedback. Thanks!

@ashcos, hey just wanted to let you know my daughter has been sleeping peacefully the last few days. We tried the cereal. Thanks for the advice
Your welcome!! I really hope it works for your LO :)
So yah either bottle or syringe hope it works for her!! Good luck and keep me updated:)
If you would like to talk more you can message me and I can help you out :)
The only way to do it would be to pump and bottle feed her once before bedtime. How old is she?! If she's 3-4 months you can spoon feed it to her mix one teaspoon of it with breast milk until it is almost a watery consistency but still enough to put on a spoon or make it on a bowl and make it very watery put it in a medicine syringe and feed it to her that way. Those are the suggestions my pediatrician gave to me
@ashcos, ok how do I feed it to her if I'm breastfeeding
Baby cereal like the rice cereal helps coat their stomach and helps with the acid. So not adult food baby rice cereal! It's ok for newborns it just can't be anymore than a teaspoon
@ashcos, what does the cereal do. I thought infants couldn't have adult food this young
My son had really bad reflux to the point that he turns blue from not breathing! And he's 3 wks old. Little things that helps before bed give baby a bottle either breast milk or formula whatever you use with a teaspoon of cereal in it. Keep the baby at a 40-45 degree angle like get a wedge or a book to put under the babies crib bassinet whatever baby sleeps is. Also the pediatrician gave me a reflux medicine that has been an amazing with helping I mean it doesn't take it away but it helps tremendously. Good luck and I hope you can get your baby to a point where she is comfortable with no issues!
@babyelkins2016, yeah I just called the Pediatrician as well. Like I said she said it's common and not to worry about it unless she seems irritable or isn't gaining weight
@marissarose94, @babyross I'm breastfeeding her. It's hard to tell how much she gets. So I just give her the breast whenever she seems like she's hunger even if it's frequent
My daughter is the same way! No matter how much I burp her or hold her up right before laying her down she spits up everywhere and it comes out her nose too. I'm breast feeding and she's 2 weeks old tomorrow. I have to ask her pediatrician at her appointment Wednesday
How much are you feeding her? And is it formula or breast milk?
Your welcome I'm glad it has worked for you!!! :)))
