Sick after feeds

[Lara310809]

My LO is sick after every feed. Not the full-on puke-up-everything-you've-just-eaten type of sick, but the dribbly type that has milky bits in it, or just milky drool. She's also become a lot more dribbly over the last few days.

She's very rarely done it until about a week ago, and now it's every feed (she feeds little and often too, so it can be 10 times a day). there doesn't seem to be a pattern either, so I can't see it coming. Sometimes it's straight after, sometimes it's an hour later, and sometimes it'sa after her next nap. Today alone I've gone through 3 outfits, and we still have at least 5 hours until bedtime. I don't want to have to keep a bib on her all the time

Is this something I should be worried about? She doesn't seem to be uncomfortable with it, so I'm not sure.

Additional note: she's formula fed, and nothing feed-related has changed in the last few weeks.

Has she had a cold? Is she teething? Both can cause them to be sick more than usual.

harry had phases of this happening and has been ffed since he was a week old, we found that it seemed to happen to him more when he had a growth spurt, but like you it was at random times, not straight after he fed sometimes just before he was due his next feed. So long as she is ok and s generally well and feeding ok I wouldn't worry hun. Sometimes it can be them just getting rid of what they don't need or if they do have a bit of an upset tum it clears out the nasty bits!

Trouble is the washing pile gets higher and higher!

Yes,over here! Charlotte was never a sicky baby but now spits up and everything you just said. I presumed it had something to do with her shoving her hands in her mouth all the time x

She has had a cold, and she still has a little of it, but she's not bunged up or anything, and actually has more of an appetite than usual.
