Help! 6 week old just started spitting up!

[IluvRedskins]

As the title says my LO is six weeks old and in the past two days he has started spitting up. Yesterday he spit up twice while I was feeding him and once more after a feeding. Today he has spit up three times after a feeding and once while feeding. This is not normal for him. It's tablespoon amounts not the whole feed but still very odd for him. We have an appointment with his pediatrician tomorrow but thought you ladies may have some advice for us!

Anybody?

I have no advice for you but I remember when LO was around that age, he started doing the same thing. He would fuss like he was gassy or had reflux... Just suddenly spit up. Also not huge amounts, but more then normal for him (which was hardly any). After a week or two, it just stopped. Now he only does it every once in a while

Thank you! That's reassuring!

My son spits up a lot too and I found that what works is stopping him halfway through a feeding and burping him, then putting him back on. He may be taking in too much air.
