StefanAVFC Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Ours is just over 2 weeks now. Today he started throwing up either during a feed or a little while after. With one quite explosive attack tonight during a feed. Probably 3/4 in total today. Is this normal? Wife is stressed out. Worried she won't sleep to make sure he doesn't choke.

I’m not doctor but I don’t think that’s anything to worry about. Are you burping him/her after the feed? Often a bit of sick would come up with ours after feeding when they burped.

He eats very greedily. (We feed only from the breast) He’s already up 600g in 2 weeks on the weight front so he’s definitely eating well and putting on weight so I’m not worried about any illness. Looking at symptoms of illnesses they all mention fatigue and weight loss or no weight gain. Edited September 18, 2023 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get the odd projectile vomit which is normal. My little un who was 6 weeks premature had really bad vomiting which required medication for the first year. I know it’s easier said than done but try not to worry, but there’s nothing wrong with seeing the doctor if you’re really concerned.

Might slow him down a bit and let it get digested better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the midwife tomorrow so we wanted her to show us some techniques to slow him down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 19, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 19, 2023 As discussed, they vomit basically constantly. We would go through about 10 muslins a day and multiple outfits, not just for Jack, for us too. As others have said as long as he's not throwing up huge amounts, like his entire feed, on a regular basis you should be fine. The ideas about bottles are a good one too. I know when we went up a teat size in bottle for Jack he hated it because it came out too quickly and he couldn't digest it properly. You'll find the sweet spot. If he's putting on weight at the right pace then I'd say you've got nothing to worry about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be really helpful if they're anything like the midwives/nurses we had visiting us. Not just for the milk, just all the questions you have that you need to ask someone about. 90% of the answers will be "Yeah that's totally normal, don't worry about it". But it gives you peace of mind. A good outlet to unload all those niggling worries that you think are probably fine but you want to double check 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have videos of him writhing around in his sleep from it, it was horrible. We eventually had to press the doctor to prescribe him Omeprezol and it completely cured it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 We've had omeprazole, gaviscon and domperidome twice a day, and still have an exorcist event a few times a week, I'm losing my **** shit. But we're down from every single feed, so that's something. A few days ago, after getting out plenty of wind and leaving half an hour for the feed to settle, she covered the car within seconds of putting her in, I just broke down in tears, there was nothing else I could do. Think the current record for her projectile vomiting is 3.5m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s any consolation as mentioned previously we went through the exact same thing with our little one. I’d does get easier and once they’re onto solids it reduced drastically in our case. Might be worth asking doctor about lanzaprozol. Our consultant told us gaviscon and omeprazole were pretty much useless for really bad reflux.
