My daughter did the same from about 4-8 weeks, and it gradually improved as my supply regulated. If possible, try to avoid pumping too much since you're triggering you body to make more milk. I know it can get uncomfortable for both mom and baby though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/explosive-puking-while-on-breast#post-1747605 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 11:39:16 +0000 catomd00 1747605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like strong letdown and/or oversupply. My DD was like this around 6 weeks or so (though not as bad as yours!) I did everything I could to manage the letdown (see pointers on kellymom.com) and it really improved around 10-12 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/explosive-puking-while-on-breast#post-1739045 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 15:28:33 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1739045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried to unlatch him frequently? maybe its pooling in his mouth? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/explosive-puking-while-on-breast#post-1738926 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 14:45:47 +0000 lady grey 1738926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: Sounds like you have a really strong let down and/or an abundent supply of milk. If you are able to feel your let downs (or first hear LO swallowing) you can delatch LO and let the initial milk flow out onto a wash cloth. Either that or pump a few minutes before breast feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/explosive-puking-while-on-breast#post-1735961 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 11:59:12 +0000 Beebug 1735961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: @MrsKoala: </p> <p>Thanks ladies. I hope it passess, I kind of think it could be a let down thing, poor guy, but suppose it's something I shouldn't complain about, just hope he doesn't have to suffer much longer and I ease out supply wise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/explosive-puking-while-on-breast#post-1735739 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 10:36:45 +0000 MrsKoala 1735739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's happened a couple times and my theory is that it had something to do with overactive letdown. He kind of choked on it and then spat everything back up all over me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/explosive-puking-while-on-breast#post-1735733 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 10:34:33 +0000 autumnlove 1735733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, this was how my LO 2 was for the first 5-6 weeks. I had to change my clothes and sheets several times a day but her dr was never concerned. </p> <p>It never happened again after the 6th week so I think my letdown slowed down or her appetite grew. </p> <p>Hugs!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/explosive-puking-while-on-breast#post-1735726 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 10:31:30 +0000 Beebug 1735726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone's LO ever have explosive pukes while nursing?</p> <p>I didn't have this with my first, and it's beginning to happen more often (he is almost 7w).</p> <p>He will be nursing and suddenly be puking out his nose, mouth, and more liquid/breast milk thank I could imagine is spewing out of him. He panics of course, and it's no fun at all.</p> <p>Tried burping him more often, pumping before feeding. There isn't a trend in time of day, which breast, or anything that way. At first I thought he was startling himself when near falling asleep, but he's done it wide awake too.</p> <p>I'm not sure if it's because he's congested? He's been congested nearly a month now, our whole house is one big bad cold.</p> <p>I will make sure I mention this at his next appt in a couple weeks. </p>
