POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Occasional slight vomiting (spitting up) after feeds is normal in newborns, especially at 45 days old. However, if it happens after every feed, here are some possible reasons and solutions:
Possible Causes: Overfeeding – Babies have small stomachs, and excess milk can come out. Swallowing Air (Gas Issue) – If she swallows air while feeding, it can lead to spit-up. Reflux (GERD) – Some babies have mild reflux where milk comes back up. Incorrect Latch or Bottle-Feeding Position – Can cause more air intake. Allergy or Intolerance – Rare, but possible if formula-fed. What You Can Do:
✔️ Feed in an Upright Position – Keep your baby’s head slightly elevated.
✔️ Burp After Every Feed – Hold her upright for at least 15–20 minutes.
✔️ Feed in Small Amounts – If bottle-feeding, try smaller, more frequent feeds.
✔️ Keep Her in a Slightly Elevated Position After Feeds – Avoid lying her down immediately.
✔️ Check Milk Flow – If breastfeeding, ensure proper latch. If using a bottle, use a slow-flow nipple.
When to See a Doctor:
❗ Frequent vomiting (not just spitting up).
❗ Greenish, yellow, or blood-tinged vomit.
❗ Baby seems uncomfortable, fussy, or not gaining weight.
❗ Vomiting forcefully (projectile vomiting).
If she is active and feeding well, it's likely normal. But if it persists, consult your pediatrician. Let me know if you need more details!
