Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

Do u consume dairy? Maybe he’s allergic that would definitely make sense! A lactation consultant or even his pediatrician is a good idea tho

yes! my dr actually has us mixing a little formula into my pumped breast milk to help keep it down. she didnt explain why, but she told us it was normal 😭

My little boy never had formula but he spat up sooo much during first 6 months until he started weaning. Its pretty normal and he was still getting enough milk even tho he would spit up after every feed

Could it be your baby is getting a fast flow of breast milk from the breast as opposed to slow from the bottle? Or getting more from the breast? If so, I’ve heard nipple shields can be useful but definitely see a lactation consultant. They’re so good, one was able to tell by my baby’s face and body language that one of my boobs had a really fast flow that was overwhelming my baby

I feel like you may have a fast milk flow and the teat on bottle is pretty slow? Xx

Only when I've eaten pizza which is so random but both my boys would be super unsettled, gassy, and throw up breast milk 1-2 days after I eat pizza!

Would you rather?

A) child sleeps all night long, no wake ups/nothing, but is a huge menace all day

B) child has multiple wakes up during the night/menace at night, but is a saint during the day

my husband asked me this today and I was stumped..

Should I be concerned or am I overthinking?

My little boy is 15 months old, he’s recently taken his first steps and he says mamma and dadda and baba (he has said these for months) we’ve filled out the paperwork for his 12-14 month review and it looks like he isn’t meeting many of his milestones.

He doesn’t copy actions, point, clap etc. He doesn’t react when being spoken to, or to his name. He actively avoids eye contact.

He was so unresponsive to sound that we just had his hearing tested concerned he was deaf. They found that he could hear so he is just choosing not to react to any noises or sounds.

Has anyone else had similar experiences with their little ones? Should I be raising this with the health visitor and ask to be assessed for neurodivergent issue or a social communication problem like autism?

I don’t want to just slap a label on him, but I do feel that there are real concerns. All opinions welcome!!

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?
