Spitting up

[Vickie]

How much is too much? And what can you do to help prevent it? We had no problems the first week but the last couple of days Hannah has spit up several times.

Hi Vickie, hope Hannah is doing well.

How much is too much is a question only you can answer - I'd say if Hannah looks uncomfortable then it's too much.

Try winding a couple of times during feeds and inclining her cot (couple of books under the top legs or a little pillow under the top half of her mattress.

Also, if she is hard to wind (often the case with babies who spit up or have reflux), try some infacol (not sure if you get it in Canada).

Lastly, rub her back when winding instead of patting - it will be more comfortable for her, i.e. the acid coming up the oesophagus doesn't burn as much.

Hope that might help some.

Josh never spit up but he used to in the first 2 weeks or so, I winded him as much as I could, also warm milk made him spit up more it was much better when it was room temp.

Hope your princess is doing good xxx

hiya hun good to see you here

I would say in this very early stage it could be that little hannah has abit of mucous left and that might make her sick.

Tips to try and improve the sickness are loads of winding, (Is hannah bf?) and keeping her upright in her little bouncy chair for 1/2 to 1 hour after each feed and yes propping her mattress with a rolled up towel.

If you find over the next week or 2 then go to your dr who may give her something as it 'may' be refulx.
