A little sicky

[Arcanegirl]

Is it normal for babies to be a little sicky after a feed?
It doesnt happen all the time, prob 1-2 times a day mostly jsut a little but have had two occasions when its looked like a whole feed.

I think its perfectly normal. I remember when Meadow did her first big sick! I completely paniced but she didnt even look bothered! Im such a panicer...

I think when they are puking it looks a lot more than it actually is

yes, its called possiting and is perfectly normal. Don't worry about any sick after feeding unless its projectile vomiting.

Thats what happened with us
We tried him out in the sling for the first time aswell and he puked quite a bit in it. Wasnt even bothered afterwards.

 

[Arcanegirl]

Is it possible that he gets moved around too much aswell after feeding that might contribute to it?

I suppose if you jumped about on a full tum you might puke so it may a little. I just think it's normal - they get rid of the excess sometimes.

Just be ready for that enormous down the nostrils puke that makes you Hebe did it last week for the first time since she was about 10 days old......I'm sure it doubles in volume before it comes back out...OH was drendched and I think he'd have been dryier if I'd poured 13 oz over him.....

Being in the sling might has squished his tummy a little. I think we are waaay more upset by spitting up then the baby is. Brenn never seemed to mind at all.

Sam always was. It's amazing how much a tiny bit of liquid can look like though - I used to worry that he'd thrown up everything I'd just fed him, but if you imagine throwing a 4oz/5oz bottle all over the place (not sure how much they take at his age ) it's probably not even close to that x
