Spit ups

My newborn seems to spit up almost immediately after every feed . She’s bottle fed formula. I’ll like burp her for a moment and after she burps she’ll like spit up the formula she had, not ALOT but a good amount. Then she’ll do it like 2-3 more times later on after that. Can’t tell if this is normal or not.

I combo feed my baby but she was spitting up a lot in the beginning, but she was gaining good weight. So the doctor told me not to be concerned are you breast-feeding and formula feeding? Also the formula that helped my baby from not spit up anymore and that was good for combo feeding for us was this one.

My little still does this and she’s 5 months. She was gaining weight so our pediatrician said to not worry.
What helped was switching to a P or a T nipple for a slower feed, burp after every ounce.
Kendamil Whole Milk has helped her tummy too.

My daughter was doing the same thing. She only drinks formula I am unable to breastfeed. Because of how much she was spitting up she was barely gaining weight. Turns out she has acid reflux so she now has baby oatmeal mixed in her bottles and has a medicine she takes twice a day for it. She rarely spits up now and is gaining weight well

Sit her up while you feed her . My son was like this and I learn to feed him sitting up on my lap

I had this issue with my first born. I combo fed her since I wasn't able to produce enough milk. I found out that formula actually has a lot of extra additional stuff that babies don't really need like tons of different seed oils, whey protiens, and corn syrups. I'd try using a formula brand like bobbie, kendamil or nara that are a little more natural. You could also try different types of bottles, your baby might not have colic but anti colic bottles will help reduce the amount of air intake during a feeding witch can help. It can also help to feed them in an upright potion almost like your burping them sitting up, also to make sure the bottle nipple isn't full of milk, it's better have the nipple half full than full so don't tip the bottle all the way up, only about half way. I hope that make sense and I hope it can help!

I stand by this!!

My twins had this. It’s acid reflux and most likely a food sensitivity. Get Nutramigen hypoallergenic formula and Dr. Brown’s anti colic bottles. Burp throughout each feeding and hold her up for 20 minutes after each feeding. Only things that helped. We tried everything, this is the ticket.

If the doctor says your baby is gaining weight well then I wouldn’t worry too much. You just have to pace her feeds and burp her I between ounces. My daughter hates it but it works and she’s happy again once I give the bottle back lol plus no crazy spit ups.

Also spitting up is normal if it isn’t projectile throw up and they aren’t in pain or fussy after then she’s okay.

Relationship rant / advice? long post

I'm not sure if anyone can really give me advice here, but I'm gonna lay out what's gone on and how I'm feeling and other factors.

So my partner and I found out I was pregnant early on into the relationship (back in 2024), and at the start of this year we had a massive talk where I said I feel like it's got alot to do with the current distance and tension between us. It was something I was worried about initially.

Now by distance and tension, I'm on about the slow decline we have gone through. It started about my 3rd trimester, and him and I both agreed alot was to do with my mental health as someone with severe C-PTSD and a disability that stems from it. This is something I have been actively working on getting help for. We also agreed that he had faults too, and overall it became a bad cycle of us both feeling like the other wasn't doing enough, and negative emotions building up against eachother. Alot of it was to do with me feeling him start to decline In the ways he showed love. I could feel his positivity draining almost, and he would never talk about it. Always said his mental health wasn't the best and shut it down.

This was through postpartum, all of 2025, we finally discussed it at the start of 2026, but it was along the lines of "we can't carry on like this, and we both have felt clocked out of this relationship, but we don't want to end the relationship because we still love eachother and want the same things".
So we agreed to start actively communicating, trying to make changes because we want to get back to what we were.

But I can not stop stressing, and thinking about how much my other half brought up how he's got everything figured out for if we end things. He was very clear on saying that he had clocked out to the point of not hating the idea of co-parenting, and even started taking about us salvaging things after a break up, it was alot. Really confusing. And just felt like he was trying to end things right there. But when I asked him if that's what he wanted he told me he will never be the one to end the relationship...

Now, its been a couple months, he expressed his poor mental health, I advised he go see a therapist and even offered to help him with this process. I've picked up where I need to, I've started getting more help, recently I've taken on most of the housework after studies too. And he seems happier, keeps telling me things are better but now I'm the one feeling like it's never going to change. He still hasn't started the process of getting help after promising me he would, I told him its integral to this relationship. That I'm stepping out of my comfort zone time and time again for the sake of him, us and our son, and I expect the same from him. There's also little things I brought up that mattered to me that he just isn't doing, whereas everything he brought to me I have taken on board and apply daily.

I can't tell if it's the poorer side of my mental health being as negative as it always is, or if after the conversation and some other things he has told me, I've started to lose the want to mend things. Its gnawing at me, I feel like we have switched roles and I just don't know what to do. I'm waiting on therapy to get back to me with my appointment dates. I'm waiting on the consultation for medication, and I'm putting 110% into this relationship whilst I feel like he's doing less. And I know physical appearance isn't something that should matter so much, but I've been really looking after myself, putting in the effort not just for him but for me, yet I'm watching him let go of himself. Which yeah, mental illness does that to a person, but as I mentioned he's not doing anything to help himself. There is only so much I can do.

Most of me feels like it's my fault. That in trying to heal whilst in an active relationship and post-partum I've caused all of this. But a small part of me feels like that's an unfair take.

Weird feelings

I am now 2 and a half months PP, and I was just looking at my scar. It feels so surreal to me. I had to have an emergency C-Section after 20 hours of labor and an induction that worked too fast. It's so strange to me that this scar is on my body, that it's where my baby came out of. Everything was completely the opposite of my original birth plan, but I could not be more thankful that they caught the reason for my c-section when they did. That still doesnt change the... almost impostor syndrome I feel when I look at my body and my scar. I've changed so much, it's so strange to me
