Throwing up

My 1 week old throws up after feeds, not a lot. Just a little bit here and there. I’ve read conflicting things online that it’s relatively normal and could be a little bit of reflux (which wouldn’t surprise me as I have suffered with reflux my whole life) and the baby could just grow out of it. He’s producing wet and pooey nappies. He has lost a little weight but nothing concerning, just the normal weight new borns normally lose. So is this relatively normal and I should just keep an eye on it for now? I will check with the midwife when I next see them anyway, but just for peace of mind for now.

Totally normal as long as it’s spit up rather than projectile vomitting. My children both spit up mostly when they burped and a little bit came up. Although at times may be because I hadn’t held them upright long enough. My 6 week old is spitting up after about half his feeds but he is comfortable and happy x

I wasted so much of my time worrying about this and my boy is two years old if there is one thing I would to go back and tell myself was don’t worry it’s normal!!! It’s not projectile it’s normal
Some babies do that
You see no rash ?? Don’t stress mama and boys spill a lot too not sure wat baby you have but don’t even waste ur energy enjoy ur baby

My son was the same from day one. He had reflux after every feed, which was a little exhausting mentally. I ended up burping him a lot, holding him upright for 30 minutes after every feed, which helped a tiny bit. It was only really after about 12 months it went away, and he doesn't suffer from any symptoms nowadays 🙂

My baby does the same too. I asked the doctor because I was worried it was reflux or something like that but no. If its just like a wet burp where it comes out a bit, its fine. Probably eating a bit too much. I was told to dial back half an ounce for my baby. It has helped some but hasn’t stopped all together. Don’t worry! Its normal, just annoying to keep changing him all day and the laundry lol

This has made me feel so much better, thank you everyone. There’s so much to be anxious about so it’s good to know it can be normal. I will bring it up to the midwife anyway but this has put my mind to ease!

Totally normal, babies spit up as their tummies are really not developed besides to intake milk but even then their gut is still forming thats why we can't intro food until 4-5mo & even then its cereal or barley, oat, mixed with milk

You could, big could bc it may not change anything but could swirl when making bottles VS shaking the bottle. But I'm sure you've already figured that out

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Help meeee

!!All advice welcome!! My 5 month old (nearly 6mo) is just not sleeping . Not for naps and not at night . She can’t connect her cycles . We started sleep regression at 3 months but in like how is this nearly been going on for a further 3 months . Like surely not . She has 10 min naps in crib ( which take so much effort ) and maybe 20/30 min naps in my arms/pushchair . She wakes minimum every hour at night with guaranteed false start 20 mins in . I combo feed. I breastfeed her until almost asleep then place her in the next to me crib give her the pacifier and put my hand on her cheek/face for 20 seconds and she drifts off . It’s not really getting her to sleep that’s the issue it’s she just won’t stay asleep . She doesn’t even need to feed much at night usually 1-2 breastfeeds . The rest is comfort wakes needing her pacifier or my hand on her cheek . I’ve looked into sleep associations and independent sleep and I broke the feed to sleep association and rocking and do bedside comforting instead for most wakes which has now lead to my hand being a sleep association on her face . I’m just so exhausted my husband is working mon-fri 9-9 and it’s just me . I haven’t had more than 4 hours in a row since her birth . I can’t get anything done during the day . She is so clingy and cries if I leave room /put her down etc. I love her so much but we both need rest . If anyone has any tips or a routine that could help PLEASE tell me I’ll try anything 🥲❤️❤️

Feeding to sleep

FTM here! 👋

Are you guys feeding your baby to sleep?

I just read feeding to sleep is creating bad habit and baby will always cry etc when awake at night expecting to get bottle before falling asleep again. 🤔
It said should feed the baby, give a bath (or not) and then put to sleep.
I do other way around - bath, pjs/lotion, rock to sleep and feed at the same time and then baby falling asleep.
Am I creating a bad habit? Been doing it all the time really. 😳

Feeds

How many times a night are your little ones getting up? My daughter is every 90-110 minutes. I am absolutely exhausted and don’t know how much more I can cope
