Projectile vommit once a day

My 8 week old has been projectile vomiting once a day recently at the same time around 9am.
She feeds twice at night with another
Feed before 9.

She usually burps for at least one of the feeds but I can't always get a burp for the others.
One boob during the night if often engorged and she also gulps and struggles with the flow comes off the boob to catch her breath. to help this I try and lean back and keep her head higher.Her feeds are only 5 minutes so don't know if it's even long enough to take breaks or burp in between?!


I wondered if anyone had any suggestions of what I should do? I haven't spoken to the GP yet as I know they are usually useless.

If it’s true projectile vomiting she needs to be seen ASAP

We have the same situation, not sure what the definition of projectile vomiting is relating to the comment above but sometimes it’s like a fountain of milk 🫠😅 i also have a very strong let down, she gulps and swallows lots of air and our feeds are very short as well.
In our case she’s growing well, is not upset, no fevers/ signs of illness and enough dirty nappies so I just try to catch spit ups and milk fountain in muslins so I don’t have to change her. I also can’t always get her to burp and I don’t try during the night feeds or when she falls asleep when nursing during the day. So really no advice here but you’re not alone :)

If it's projectile (reaching long distances like half way across a room) she needs to be seen immediately. The same goes if vomit or poop turns green. When I say seen, I mean go to the hospital, not a GP.

Sleep train

Third set of jabs

Hi mums!

Just wondering if any of your little ones have had the third set of jabs and if so, how did they react compared to the first and second?

First was okay for us, cranky but mostly slept.

Second was horrendous so, I’m slightly nervous…

2 year review

I just had my 2yo review today. And honestly that could have been a phone call. She didn't look at the questionnaire at all, barely interacted with my son and didn't weigh or measure him.

Is this normal or should I call back and ask for more? I'm not concerned about his development etc at all. It just felt like a waste of time tbh.


Edit: I also felt a slight judgement when I told her he's not in nursery yet as I work from home. We go to plenty of playgroups etc but she was like: oh ok...

Silly question

My baby doesn’t fit in her newborn car seat anymore, so we got her a new one but it’s currently fitted in hubby’s car and he’s not around.

I need to quickly step out would a taxi/Bolt driver let me have baby on my lap, or is that a definite no? I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but just wondering
