Reflux??

[Vicks]

So we're bottle feeding Joe and he usually takes between 4-6oz every 3-4 hours.

He's a really windy baby and we think he has a bit of colic. We've tried Infacol which didn't seem to help and have now switched to the Dr Brown bottles which do help him burp!! But sometimes after a feed he sicks up a bit of milk Not loads and not projectile vomit or anything like that....Just dribbles out and sometimes doesn't even wake him if he's back in his crib. I'm just worried about him choking on it if he's asleep and how we can stop it??

We take our time feeding him so he doesn't rush, usually 30 mins and burp him after every 2oz's so it doesn't build up. We also don't put him straight down in his crib, we sit him upright or hug for 5-10 minutes to help but at some feeds it works and at some it doesn't.

Any idea's???

my baby has reflux and its always been a lot that hes sicked up, its never been projectile but its been a lot. I think with your baby being so young a little bit of spit up/dribble of milk is normal. But I would be worried if its a lot each time, and the weight gain was/is also an issue with my LO. You could always raise the cot a little at one end with some towels under the mattress? keep an eye on it, if your worried speak to your hv, or doc x
