Spit up..
My LO is 6 weeks 1 day. She formula fed. A couple a weeks ago we switch her formula to Parents Choice Sensitive, but it made her bowel movements really firm. We asked the her doctor before switching her formula. We ended up going back to Similac Pro Sensitive. She’s been doing okay with it and her bowel movements are back to normal for her. But the past couple of days she has been spitting up more. Just a minute ago I fed her a 3 oz bottle and burp her. After she burp it felt like the whole bottle came up on my shoulder, arm, and the bed. She seems fine. I know they say when baby’s spit up it seems like a lot but it’s really not. This is the first time she spit up this much. She’s been drinking 3 oz every 3.5-4 hours. She was really fussy yesterday, but I just assume it was apart of a growth spurt. Her next doctor appt isn’t until 4/27.

My son would spit up often as a newborn as well. His pediatrician recommended burping every ounce. We started burping every ounce then moved to burping at half the bottle until he grew out of the spit up phase. She also recommended holding him upright or sitting him in his swing/bouncer for about 30 minutes after his feeding before laying him down and trying not to move him around too much after feedings. As long as she is gaining weight and isn’t crying non stop after feedings as well as having frequent wet diapers I would assume that it’s not a big deal. Of course, talk to your pediatrician at her next appointment. Unless you’re really concerned you can call and ask for their recommendation until your next appointment.
