Baby sick

[Laneyloo]

3 week old being sick after each feed

[boxtops]

and have you taken the baby to the doctor?

[China Doll]

Tell health visitor and take to GP.

[nannybooby]

Dont panic ,take the babe to the doctors, it could be a simple solution.

[redcrx]

sick or posseting? call HV or make appt at GP.

[puma86]

hopefully this wont be anything to worry about.
I had this with my little one. Turned out that he was sucking/feeding for comfort and making himself sick as his little tummy couldn't handle all the milk. A dummy did the trick in the end :o)
Saying that it could be all sorts of different reasons so best take the bubs to the gp asap

Hope all is well

[lostpuzzler]

Could be simple infant reflux. My baby granddaughter suffers from it and has infant gaviscon in every feed which has solved the problem but you need to go to the doctors to get it.

Hi Feliciababy, you don't seem to have addressed the baby sick question?

[Old_Geezer]

Shows how much experience I have with this sort of thing, I thought that was standard.

Baby has feed.
Baby is burped over shoulder.
Baby throws up all over your back.

[ummmm]

It is OG. It just depends on how much they bring up.

[fliptheswitch]

My son used to be sick after every single feed. Not just a little bit, but proper projectile vomiting!
This went on for months, but the HV never seemed to be concerned.
It got to the point, where I would feed him with a huge towel draped over myself and the sofa!

As others have suggested, get him/her to the docs, just to be safe :-)

[ummmm]

My daughter was the same flip....as long as they are putting on weight they don't seem to be concerned.

[fliptheswitch]

Yep, he was a little pudding. Followed Mother, obviously :P

[daisya]

Flip, a friends baby had that and was eventually diagnosed with diaphragmatic hernia but only when the child was a few years old. As ummmm said they don't seem to bother when the child puts on weight.

[ummmm]

They just put my daughters down to the fact that she was a pig :-)

As I breastfed it was hard to measure how much she was having. She was probably using my boob as a dummy...

[fliptheswitch]

Daisy, is that like a relex thing? (Is that the right word?) If so, my sisters little boy had that.

Ummmm... Lol!!! :D

[ummmm]

Funnily enough...the boys were worse. They just didn't bring it back up again!!

[daisya]

Yes flip I think it is, where the milk wouldn't stay down due to the hernia.

[fliptheswitch]

Lol. That's cos boys are greedy! I wish I'd breast fed... might have got rid of this jelly belly! *Ha Ha*.

I'm with flip with this all my boys had it and the girls didn't. got to the point fed them and draped a towel waiting for the sick, if not it would hit the walls. Found out it was reflux and boys are more prone to it. Looking back I think it may have been the formula, the twins didn't start being sick till 3 weeks when put on the bottle and the other one was bottle fed from the start and was sick from the beginning, didn't stop till put on cows milk at 6 months. ( it was 19 years ago, when you didn't get grief for putting on cows milk) now all 3 strapping lads.(well men, but they're still my boys to me) lol
