But if I were in your shoes I would probably ask for some samples from the doctor and try it for at least a week and see. Babies puke, but that does sound like a lot and I just wonder with M having had the challenges he did.</p> <p>If you end up needing Neocate, see if your doctor can help you get an rX! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-throwup-normal#post-2470355 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 16:39:11 +0000 ladybee 2470355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@skipper2010: with DS1 he was diagnosed allergic to milk at 4 weeks (DH is so it wasn't shocking) and at 8 weeks he started projectile vomiting every feed. He was put on zofran for the month while we tried hypoallergenic formulas. With Nutramigen he was still vomiting when we would wean him and he was covered in eczema. We met with a GI and he had blood in his stool. Blood test for milk came back positive, soy came back low positive. We started Neocate that day and it was life changing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-throwup-normal#post-2470032 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 12:12:18 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2470032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long are you waiting before laying him down? I can't speak to the amount as we had varying amounts but this happened often with my four month old ds, he still does a little but pretty often. His pediatrician isn't concerned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-throwup-normal#post-2469756 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 08:44:14 +0000 skipper2010 2469756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: According to my pedi, all babies have reflux to some degree because their lower esophageal sphincter is immature. It's usually when it causes pain or they're not gaining weight that it becomes a problem. I don't think reflux in itself always points to MSPI although it can be a sign. DD is 2 months old and has reflux, but she also has mucus in her stools and that's when we had to switch her to a hypoallergenic formula. What symptoms did DS 1 have that led to an MSPI diagnosis? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-throwup-normal#post-2469754 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 08:43:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 2469754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: also was she born very quickly? They told me in the hospital that big spit ups were more common in fast births because the amniotic fluid doesn't get as squeezed out in the birth canal. Not sure if that would still matter at 2 weeks though. </p> <p>I did mention the big spit up to my pediatrician at her two month check and she wasn't concerned as long as the baby was happy after and it wasn't a frequent occurrence. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-throwup-normal#post-2469750 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 08:38:54 +0000 sslm 2469750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's probably worth mentioning to a doctor, but I wouldn't jump to any conclusions about allergies/reflex/etc. My DD projectile "vomited" quite a lot as an newborn (probably for 1-2 months?) and she didn't have allergies or anything else. My doctor wasn't super concerned because she was a "happy spitter". I think it had to do with my milk coming out so fast and her tummy not being able to handle it... but who knows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-throwup-normal#post-2469745 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 08:34:21 +0000 MrsSRS 2469745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS big spit ups were reflux. With DD it was when she nursed on two sides but really only needed one because her tummy was still small and my supply was not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-throwup-normal#post-2469744 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 08:33:53 +0000 Truth Bombs 2469744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If he's getting puke on the floor from his rnp that's projectile vomit and not just spit up. I would call the doctor. It could be an allergy or it could be something else. My children both had a lot of food allergy issues. With my older one eliminating dairy, soy, wheat, eggs, fish, and nuts from my diet did the trick. With my 3 month old I've eliminated all those things and we are still having very mucusy poop so we are heading to GI next week. If I were in your shoes I would probably switch to neocate (or Nutramigen or Alimentum) and see how he does since it's easy enough to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-throwup-normal#post-2469740 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 08:28:28 +0000 Hoots 2469740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It might be worth a call to the pediatrician. We had a few episodes like that around the 2 week mark. DD spit up quite a bit, but we had projectile spit up like you're describing a few times. I mentioned it to the pediatrician and she said she needed to know sooner rather than later if it became more common. I don't know more than that because our spit up episodes drastically decreased when DD was diagnosed with reflux and put on Zantac.</p> <p>ETA: I just checked the notes I made on the sheet from DD's 2 week appointment. I have written "Call if continues projectile. Coudl be pyloric stenosis." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-throwup-normal#post-2469738 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 08:25:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 2469738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had a couple of those from my 2 month old- only just recently in the last couple weeks. But yes, so much that she was soaked front and back. Our toddler had just had a stomach bug the first time it happened and I freaked out but it seems to just be random huge spit ups. She's don't it two or three times now and always seems perfectly fine after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/newborn-throwup-normal#post-2469730 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 08:13:39 +0000 ladybee 2469730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS2 is a little over 2 weeks old. The last few days he's thrown up after at least one feed, sometimes two. It's when I finally lay him down in his RNP. It's enough that he is covered, the RNP has it on it, and it's on our floor.</p> <p>Is this normal? Maybe just a trapped burp issue?</p> <p>Our DS1 was MSPI and we were figuring all the out when he was a tiny baby so I'm not sure whats normal. He doesn't have a temp (98.5 rectally) and is acting fine otherwise. Obviously, one of our worst fears is another MSPI baby that needs Neocate. </p>
