Screaming baby

Hello, your baby may be crying after feeding bc he is still hungry if he is throwing up his food source. Going to formula may help since the formula can be a little heavier then breast milk. You can always mix your breast milk in with the formula and see if the baby keeps the milk down. But I did notice that if my son throws up after feeding he will start screaming. I tried feeding him after he threw up and he was calm.

That’s so stressful. Have you worked with a lactation consultant? I’ve found them to be incredibly helpful (and nonjudgmental). I’m also signed up to go to a breastfeeding support group to meet & learn from other moms. May be worth considering so y’all can get some reprieve.

I’m so sorry that you are going through this! Are you burping every 5-10 minutes? This could definitely reduce spit up and help your little one get a little fuller. I also try to prop baby up a bit more rather than feed completely sideways. I have found my baby cries after a feeding because she hasn’t been able to pass a big burp or has some gas buildup. Helping her through that ends the crying immediately. Also agree that reaching out to a lactation consultant would be a good idea!

My daughter is like this.
I have a severe family history of GERD and acid reflux. My son who is almost 2 has it and so does my daughter who is a month old.
They both take Pepcid. I also had to cut a lot of stuff out of my diet because it was affecting my daughter. Dairy was the main thing but also caffeine, I only drank one pop a day and it was still enough to effect her a lot

So this sounds about like how my daughter was, turns out she had acid reflux. And she also had a horrible diaper rash that went along with it. I switched her to the formula, Enfamil, AR and it was like a brand new baby.

doctor switched him to formula today… hypoallergenic somatic

Sounds like my son. He just turned a month old & when he was a week old, he was spitting up & throwing up A LOT. I was nursing & bottle feeding. Then I switched to nurse exclusively. The spitting up & throwing up slowed DRASTICALLY. Fast forward to now, he's started back throwing up a little again, but not as much as before. I used to think it was me too, like maybe my milk was bad for him🥺 He was super fussy all the time, except for when he was sleep. I've noticed that he is a lot calmer after feeds now. I would def also try to watch what you eat as well. Sounds like it's just gas though. I considered mixing with formula but I didn't want my supply to go down & I've yet to find a formula that I'm comfortable with. There are so many different additives & hard to pronounce ingredients & stuff in certain formulas (not all) & I would just prefer the most natural, similar to breastmilk one. If one exists lol.

Just do your best, go with your gut & do what works for you & your little one! You got this💪🏽🤗
