Take her to the doctors it sounds like reflux.
My daughter had it and they started putting gavisgon powder for children in the milk this stopped the problem completely. This works due to the milk thickenening up very quickly and therefore is able to remain in your child's stomach.
Good luck

I found with my frequent spitter soy was the answer. A dash of rice cereal in the bottle will act like the AR formula by enfamil since thats what they use as a thickener. I found he spit up the most on Goodstart and the problem subsided almost completely when he was switched to enfamil, he also did well on a short stint on similacs soy version. Also, there are prescription drops used for colic that may help his stomach I dont know them off hand but they were wonderful when my son had his tummy issues, I believe theyre an anti spasm med.

hi, my daughter is 10mths now but she done exactly the same. Like yours my doc said she was fine but you still worry. It could be; reflux where the valve at the stomach does not close over properly & allows some milk back up (ask for baby gaviscon if this is case which slightly thickens milk stopping it coming up so easy) or baby is upset when starting feed or directly before it which causes a build up of gas in the stomach which when you burp your daughter it pushes the milk up too. My daughter is fine now and is still happily breastfeeding alongside her solids now. See the doctor again or health visitor get something sorted and then relax and enjoy your daughter.

Are you laying her down flat right after feeding her? My 6 week old started spitting up a lot when we laid her down flat, but if we leave her in her bouncer or swing for a while, she doesn't do it as much and when she does, it's usually more like drool, lol. Could be reflux, as the the other posters said, or gas. We ended up adding the wal-mart brand of mylicon to every bottle and switching to vent-aire bottles, that helps her not to get gassy and spit up as much as well. Good luck!

Are you burping her every so often? Sometime I'd have to stop feeding to burp my children in order to avoid the spit up.
I wouldn't think there's a problem unless she's lethargic, unresponsive and losing weight. She's got a small tummy and probably just eating too much.

Reflux is normal, my second child spit up after every feed and I changed her formula to soya and it stopped. She could be allergic to milk or she could be swallowing too much air or she's just full.
How often are you feeding her and how much? I know that nestle makes this powder that you add to the formula that makes it thicker (like gaviscon sachets) which is specially made for babies that spit up. get that or change her formula to a soya base.
Be careful though, soya makes your baby pick up weight quicker that other formula.
Good luck and Congratulations!

why do not you seek for suggestion out of your pediatrician in the previous you do this? starting up rice that youthful isn't a good idea. bypass ahead and gives you a thumbs down yet they could choke on it. they do no longer understand the thanks to swallow. Are you constructive your infant is merely hungry? ought to he be crying because of wanting a change or merely needed to be held? at 6 weeks previous 5 to 6 oz..is lots!! it truly is going to be round 3 oz..each and every 3 to 4 hours. Or on the least you could bypass 2 a million/2 hours.

It's only a real problem if she gets upset and in pain. My girl was what the doctor called a "happy chucker" she would have a little chuck and just continue on like nothing happened. If it is reflux you can get special formula to help.

Sometimes, when you feed a baby too much, it will throw up. Babies will pull away from a bottle when they are full and they'll drink more if you give them the bottle again. But often times, it's when you try to give them a little more when they throw up.

im sure she is fine if your doc said so. my second child would practically spit up all his food after he would eat. he would get so full he didnt have anymore room. i remember one night he was feeding and pulled off my breast and spit up so much i thought he was vomiting. poor lil guy. i know its sometimes a scary thing. try and burp her more or feed her so shes not so hungry that she inhales it which i know it hard to do. if your still concerned and worried then i would suggest seeing another ped. it wouldnt hurt and its always better safe then sorry. good luck and make sure you have plenty of bibs
