my 2 week old has been spitting up his formula at least 2 times a day. i even tried water and he spit that up right away too! its almost like projectile vomit and not sure what to do. he's getting nutrients and all because he has plenty of dirty diapers, but i'm just not sure what to do. could he have GERD? and if so, should i see if i can get him into the pediatriction asap??

we've switched his formula 3 times also, and he's gaining weight sufficiently.

Your baby is ok. You are lucky it's only twice, my daughter was spitting up alot almost every feeding. Her ped. said it's normal for babies to do that b/c their stomach is small and they don't know when they are full so that's why they spit up alot. After her feeding try and burp her a little more than you are doing now and don't move her around too much and see if her stomach settles. If you are concern take him to his ped. Good luck.

It could be something small, like maybe he is drinking a little too fast. He could have excess gas, maybe a different burping position would help. Does the spit up smell sour? If not then it may not be gerd. If stomach acid was the problem, the spit up would smell bad. I hopeeverything works out.

My daughter was puking like something from the Exorcist when she was 2 weeks old. Turns out she was allergic to milk. We put her on soy and everything is great. Keep in mind that babies do spit up. It is only about a teaspoon of actual milk and the rest is slobber. If you're worried call you doctor. They should have someone on call. Good luck!

You should probably take him to the pediatrician. It could be something in the formula, that he isn't burping enough, etc. but it is a good idea to be sure he isn't losing weight or dealing with something more serious. Good luck!

Get him to your peds ASAP....may be GERD. Could also be an intolerance to soy and a different type of formula needs to be used.

you should go to the doctor, it could mean that formula isnt right for him!..my daughter was switched 3 different time at the hospital before she came home, because of the same reason, so talk to your doctor they will find out which one is right for him!!!

Unfortunately, some babies are just "spitters." My 3 month old is. As long as he is not vomitting and gaining weight, he is fine. Just wear old tee shirts and use receiving blankets as burp clothes.
