🙄 baby keeps vomiting, not just a little spit up, it’s not every bottle it’s kinda random. He burps a lot. I don’t think I’m over feeding him. Went through the same thing with my daughter but she was older. With her we switched formula and it stopped happening. He’s on the formula that we switched to, maybe I should try the regular stuff for him? Idk I’m so lost. Hate seeing my baby do that 💔
Omg same thing was happening to my baby girl i switched to enfamil gentle ease and she hasnt spit up since and is feeling better. They also have enfamil a.r for less spit up maybe you can try one of these
Still going through this with my little one. They found out he has some kind of allergy but we are now on the 4th kind of formula and it isn't getting better. He even had the issue with breastmilk.
How many ounces is he drinking at a time? And yeah it might be the formula also. Have you talked to his pedi?
@laniejay, @twerky, he eats 3 oz sometimes less. We have to see pedi tomorrow anyway for weight and stuff
@mamauv, he’s on gentlease cuz that’s what helped my daughter to stop doing it and her formula isn’t expired so I fed him that. Maybe I should try something else?
@liz41395, I think 3 ounces on average is a bit much for a week old baby. I may be wrong tho so definitely bring it up to his pedi tomorrow
@twerky, she wasn’t much help when my daughter was doing it tbh. Probably why I’m so lost now
Range of eating is 1.5-2oz per lb of body weight per day. So even going with 9lbs he should eat 13-19oz per day- 8 feeds is Normal for that age- so 1.5-2oz per feed max especially since I went with the higher weight and spaced out feeds with those numbers. Be sure you pace feed. There are great examples on YouTube of how to. Burp every .5 oz at that age and it should take 5 mins per half ounce as you control intake. As they get older it’s 5 mins per ounce and burp every ounce.
I wouldn’t swap formula yet. They say not to change types before two weeks of consistency.
@twerky, do you know how hard it is to hold all this info in my noggin?!? I’ve got to release it somewhere 😬 gotta make space for more
@liz41395, my pedi wasn’t any help when feeding either. You’d think it’s kind of an important thing to stay up to date and be knowledgeable with 🙄
@laniejay, he burps every half oz and all that, but I’ll cut back on the formula and see if that works. I think he sometimes just wants to keep sucking so we will try the pacifier with it
@liz41395, my babies always needed a pacifier after- they loved non-nutritive sucking.
@laniejay, yes to a point I feel like she was telling me it’s your kid you tell me what’s wrong with her and I’ll write u a script for whatever you think will fix it.
@liz41395, yea theres the similac advance pro the hospitals give it to new borns and mine took it right away. Maybe youll have better luck with that one
