Being sick after feeds.

My little 4 day old man is feeding loads but keeps being sick a fair amount after his feeds. He still wants to feed after being sick. Can this be normal? I have no idea

Mine still does this and she is 2 months old! I was going to ask the pediatrician about reflux at her checkup Tuesday. She still gains weight though, so I guess she's getting what she needs despite bringing up some milk every feed.

this happens to me in two cases: one when she feeds first thing in the morning as I am engorged a bit and the milk comes out so fast. she gets a bit of air trapped and spits up...and two when she is fussing because she has jsut napped or is overtired. Either way, its when she takes in a lot of air. Have you tried to burp/wind LO halfway through a feed or maybe even less than halfway? if they get gas trapped with more milk overtop it's bound to come out when they burp.....

Yes, I do think it's related to wind in my case, but I'm not sure how to prevent it. I burp her usually 3 times per boob, and every single time she'll have a nice burp followed within a minute later by spit up (usually right after the burp). Then sometimes she'll spit up the chunky looking spit-up an hour or so after a feed.

Thank you, i do think maybe the fussing is an issue maybe followed closely by being a little greedy!
