Q. #AskTheExpert Hello, my son is 2 months and 10 days old. He drinks only breast milk. However, I have observed that when he drinks directly from the breast he vomits a lot and when he drinks expressed breastmilk from a bottle, he vomits relatively less. He has reflux problems from the beginning and hence we feed him in an upright position in both breast and bottle. Is this normal? Is it ok to feed him milk expressed into a bottle?
