HELP with spitting up / possetting
My girl is 10 weeks old and EBF. She is sick so much. I can never keep in her clothes for more than 10 minutes without her spitting up / possetting on them. I’ve tried burping her during feeds (she cries horribly if I do that), I’ve tried burping her after feeding her and not burping her at all. I’m at my wits end and really struggling. I’m not sure if it’s allergy related as she has no other symptoms over than quiet a lot of trapped air and spitting up.
Does anyone have any advice because my poor washing machine and fed up mama of being covered in sick here 😭😭

My 14 week old is the same. She suffers with reflux. We give her infacol on doctor’s orders as she’s EBF so it’s the easiest thing to get into her. And it really helps with her reflux and trapped wind. Infacol can be bought over the counter as most supermarkets and pharmacy’s
Does she seem uncomfortable during feeds or after feeding? She could be experiencing reflux. My little girl is on gaviscon which has helped a lot with her sickness after feeds. It’s definitely worth mentioning to the GP if she seems uncomfortable with it. Also, do you do pace feeding? And keep her upright for some time after feeds?
