Newbie here with a question

[Anonymous]

I am new here and wanted to ask a question. I am a first time mom of a three week old and over the past few days my baby has had a vomiting episode once or twice a day. It usually occurs about an hour to two hours after a feeding and it is a lot! He doesn’t seem to be sick otherwise and has been gaining weight very well. I am breastfeeding and also supplementing with Similac Soy. I am gonna call my pediatrician tomorrow, but wanted everyone’s opinion on here as acid reflux was brought up to me by a friend.

Thanks!

hi debbie,

does you baby appear to be in any pain? if not, maybe try keeping a food journal, as something you could be eating could just not be sitting well? not sure but worth a shot to see if there is a pattern….

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome Ann Marie! Yes, he does appear to be in pain during feedings. This morning was particularly rough and he acted as if he didn’t want to nurse. We are going to see the Ped this morning as he wants to make sure it isn’t anything serious. I pray it isn’t reflux.

Thanks!

hi Debbie,

Hang in there and let us know what the doctor says. hopefully if it is reflux, it is a mild case and you will find something that makes your baby comfortable quickly!

Let us know how the doc appt goes! if it is reflux know that you have found an amazing place of support here with people that have gone through similar experiences and are really one of the best sources of support I have ever found!
