If its projectile vomiting I believe you are meant to take them to the GP x

My son had projectile vomit every feed so got put on cows milk allergy milk and it stopped for couple weeks , then we had projectile vomit every 3/4 feeds so I took him back to the doctors and they took his weight and how much milk he should be having over 20 hours so I ended up giving him an ounce less each feed for a week and he was okay x

Definitely get her checked could be something like silent reflux. We had asked the consultant at the hospital about our girl and silent reflux because she would sick up a little bit but she would scream after feeds (also a premie born at 33+6) he said they don’t intervene if baby is still gaining weight and something I’m sorry I can’t remember. But u may be able to get thickeners for the milk prescribed to help keep it down. Are u feeding baby upright? (If bottle fed) keeping her upright (laying her on ur chest) for 30 mins after a feed? These are things which have helped our girl. Randomly yesterday she just stopped doing it as she’s hitting 12 weeks (corrected age 6 weeks) tomorrow! It does get better x

Get checked I just had my boy checked cos I was paranoid about pyloric stenosis (more common in males) as he had a couple episodes of projectile vomiting x

Mounjaro

Is mounjaro allowed to be taken whilst breastfeeding? I’m not on it yet, but considering it as it’s the only thing that helps me lose some weight due to my health conditions.

Tired 10 weeks postpartum mum needing reassurance from formula-feeding mums 🙏

Hi mums, I’m 10 weeks postpartum and feeling so burnt out. My baby doesn't latch, so I’ve been pumping and mixed feeding. Pumping is exhausting me, and I’m really thinking about quitting.

Because I work in healthcare, the guilt is hitting me hard and I keep overthinking the benefits of breast milk. But my mental and physical health are slipping.

Would love to hear from moms whose babies are 100% formula-fed. Please tell me your formula babies are thriving and that you got your sanity back! Need some reassurance today. 🙏

Struggling with feeding

My little girl is 7.5 weeks and we are struggling with feeding. When she takes the bottle, halfway into a feed she will be hysterically crying and want to continue to eat but keeps pulling off. This happens with the boob but not as much as only feeding boob mainly at night with a few day feeds. She will take the bottle if she’s either tired or distracted. Has anyone experienced this please? It started around 1.5 weeks ago and we are mainly doing pumped breast milk. Hoping this is just a phase 😩

Baby not burping - consequences?

My little one is 5 weeks old and does not wind!! No matter what I do. I try for like 15 minutes and he doesn’t bring anything up, I tend to keep him lying on me after feeding if I can’t wind him and he’s normally ok. There’s been the odd occasion he’s spat up when I’ve led him down but it’s very rare. What is the consequences if he is not burped? It’s stressing me out because surely he has something to bring up and don’t want him being uncomfortable 🙈
