Baby throwing up

3.5 weeks pp now, I’m exclusively breastfeeding. I have a very greedy baby who will eat until she’s over full and then she vomits - irs happened a handful of times so far usually after she was very fussy and wanted to be on the boob for ages. Settled afterwards. With other feeds she doesn’t vomit, burps well and quickly, sometimes will posset.

Anyone have similar experiences? I’m just worried about reflux but feel I wouldn’t recognise it lol

My 3.5 is exactly the same, we’ve had the health visitor this morning and she seems to think it’s reflux. We’re waiting on the GP to call us back

I am also exclusivly breastfeeding and she feeds so much right now and my daughter is currently sick most days after feeds. I spoke with a midwife about it as i was concerned she had reflux or something but my midwife just said as long as shes gaining weight which she is gaining it well then they wouldnt be concerned about that at all.

I suspect she may have a slight degree of reflux but since she has only vomited a handful of times, I will just monitor for now. Thanks guys!

Car seats

I’m so sorry if this is a stupid question but I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my 3rd baby. What happens with car seats in the back of the car? My other two are still in car seats they are nearly 4 & 2? Where will the new born car seat go? Am I being stupid?🤦🏽‍♀️😂😂😂

Advice needed

I keep waking up feeling like a bad mum!
My boy is 13 weeks old, for the last few nights he’s started stirring so I’ve popped his dummy in and he’s gone to sleep. This has resulted in me feeding him at about 4/5am after his last feed at 9/9.30pm. After that feed he won’t wake up fully (just stir and I pop dummy in until about 9/9.30am) I’m not questioning whether if I’m starving him through the night! Should I give him the dummy when he stirs or should I be offering him a feed?
Would he settle with a dummy and go back to sleep if he was actually hungry? As I know through the day when he’s hungry nothing settles him other than the feed so sometimes I have to feed him earlier than the 3 hours he usually goes.
Through the day he’s having about 6 feeds and he’ll take 160ml-170ml each feed. Is this enough to sustain such long gaps through the night? He appears to be gaining weight well , hes fit in 3-6months since bang on 12 weeks and he’s a very happy baby when he’s awake.

Can your baby self soothe to sleep?

If so, how did they learn? How did you support them?

Visitors of newborn.

I’m feeling a bit anxious about having visitors after I get home from having my baby. I know a baby’s immune system is immature for the first 2 months of life and don’t want her to get any germs.

I am worried about family members turning up and not telling me their poorly like got a cough or viral thing. My question is has anyone ever visited your home and been poorly?
