i have a 4 month old daughter and although healthy, i've discovered that lately, when i give her powder milk, she heaves as though trying to be sick. She's recently started to be sick and all her milk comes out though not all the time. Is it essential that i wind her all the time as i've noticed that on night time feeds, she drinks and straight back to sleep. Any advice please?

My best friends son as a baby could not tolerate the powder form of formula but was just fine with the liquid concentrate. I am not real sure what the difference is but that is what worked for her so maybe sticking with the liquid concentrate will help your daughter out as well.

Make sure you burp her after every feeding. Could be that she can not tolerate the type of formula that you are giving her. Some babies just don't tolerate milk base formulas well. There are other formulas that you can try. But, first, take her to the pediatrician and discuss what's going on with your baby. You don't want her to get deydrated from not keeping anything down. Or she could be getting a stomach virus. So, it's important to take her to the doctor now.

My youngest was the same, either try to wind your little one every time that she has milk. She may bring quite a bit back but then you can always give her some more to fill her up, alternatively you could try giving her the ready made milk I.E Cow and Gate, she may prefer that.
It also helped me when i fed my little girl if I did not lay her back so much so that she was slightly propped up while taking her milk.
Hope this works for you!.

She may have a small case of acid reflux. I would call the doctor and see if you can have her checked out. This is common in infants. I had to change formulas about 4 times with my son. Carnation good start made him sick. Good luck.

You really need to make sure she's winded as otherwise this cramps the stomach and will probably produce the heaving. With my son, he used to fall straight back to sleep so i changed his Nappie and this woke him up enough for me to wind him. If she falls back asleep what i find works with my 1 month old is that i lie him on my chest and rub his back whilst asleep and this helps him to bring up his wind whilst not being disturbed

Try a different milk.
Mine was allergic to dairy and we went to Soy milk.
Worked like a charm.
Three years later- still works.
