Do breastfeeding Mommys still try to burp their little one after they fall asleep while nursing?
*i always do but he never burps. If you guys do, do you wake them back up until they burp? Or just let them sleep?
@mommyofljc17, well since I started exclusively breastfeeding he’s been super gassy per say. But just a month ago I’ve notice that he’s been throwing up a lot after feedings while trying to burp and very gaggy. Like we tried giving him gripe water and he would gag and throw up. Hurts me as a month knowing I’m not able to stop that pain. I’ve talked to his pediatrician about the spitting up/throwing up and if it doesn’t affect his weight to them it’s not concerning. But I honestly think he has sever acid reflex.
@daniellejan, have you talk to his pediatrician about the acid reflux. Liam started to get some reflux at 5 months that at night he would spit up a little in his mouth but he had the tendency to swallow it so his pediatrician wasn’t concerned enough to give him medicine for it. But if your son is vomiting he may need more than just burping him to help with the acid reflux.
@mommyofljc17, my son has really bad acid reflex and it’s scares me because when he does burp it’s lots of throw up and gagging ☹️ i always try to burp him on the dream feeds but he’s always just knocked out!
@daniellejan, that is crazy that they are not concerned about his throwing up. I would push the doctor because when they are colicky it’s horrible for them. Your baby shouldn’t go through that. Have you tried chamomile tea? I would give that to my son when he would get super colicky and it would help him a lot. But if I were you I would just tell my pediatrician that the baby is constantly crying and throwing up and you don’t think it’s normal. Your baby should be happy not suffering.
