He also spits up when pooping... Which often happens while he's feeding. Probably just a developmental thing that'll lessen as he gets older. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-newborn-and-spitting-up#post-2370198 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 20:21:01 +0000 AggieDaze 2370198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. J: definitely likely! I still feel like I'm in the engorged phase at the beginning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-newborn-and-spitting-up#post-2370178 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 19:55:36 +0000 peaches1038 2370178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is happening to us too. He did it a ton in the very beginning but at almost 3 weeks old, it happens much less </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-newborn-and-spitting-up#post-2370168 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 19:45:20 +0000 hilsy85 2370168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds totally normal! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-newborn-and-spitting-up#post-2369955 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:31:59 +0000 Astro Bee 2369955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS would pull off at the beginning sputtering, and it was due to an overactive letdown. I was advised to lay back when feeding to allow gravity to counteract the initial force. It seemed to help. </p> <p>I think most babies spit up a lot at first. It should lessen as their digestive system/esophagus matures. Try holding your LO upright for half an hour after eating and see if that helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-newborn-and-spitting-up#post-2369927 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 16:07:28 +0000 Mrs. J 2369927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have an oversupply:/overactive let down? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfed-newborn-and-spitting-up#post-2369759 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:32:33 +0000 AggieDaze 2369759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO2 (1 week old) pulls off the breast at least once per nursing session and kind of chokes/sputters/swallows and then goes back to eating. He also spits up fairly frequently (though it isn't projectile at all, and only tends to be directly after eating - often if I lay him down for a diaper change). </p> <p>I don't remember this happening with LO1. Is this common? Is he getting too much milk/too fast?</p> <p>He feeds from both sides for most sessions but often doesn't finish the second - it still hurts from being full. during the day, he often only eats for a couple minutes on the second side. </p>
