Projectile vomiting baby - advice please

In the past few days my 7 month old has had two enormous projectile vomiting sessions after his evening bottle.


After he's puked all over him and me and his grobag he seems fine - happy, smiling and babbling away.


But I am worried that maybe I am making him sick? Maybe I am feeding him too much food and then the bottle on top of that makes him puke (though he only has about 120oz) or I should still be sterilizing his bottles, or go back to boob instead of bottle for his evening feed? The bottle is a new thing for him and its only been in the past few days that he's actually drinking from it.


I will take him to the health visitor tomorrow but I wondered if any other mums had similar experiences or could offer me any advice.


Thanks!

it could definitely be the teat, especially if he's spluttering a little or milk is dribbling from the the corners of his mouth during his feed. one other thing to consider, have you switched to formula in the bottle feed? i've been weaning my daughter off the breast and onto formula and she was initially quite sicky with the increase in formula, although 3 weeks into it now and i'm seeing a big improvement. i think she just needed some time to adjust to the change in milk.

This happened to my girl as well when she had the bottle. One time it was in the car, while on holiday- nice. I switched back to the newborn teat and it seemed to help a little bit, but then to be honest we went back to breastfeeding as it was all too much of a hassle. I think with her it was just much more liquid all in one go than she was accustomed to from the breast. Now she is bigger (1) she is learned to take smaller sips from the bottle or cup and she barely ever is sick.

Hi this happened for a few weeks with my dd when I went from breast to bottle. I agree with pp'ers, I think its a combination of the sudden large quantity of milk in the tummy and the change to formula. She was on a slow teat as well, so it just took time for her tummy to adjust. I used to have to put a large towel over my knee and half way over the sofa in case it all came back up. Took around 3 weeks to settle. Also try to get a decent gap between last meal and bottle. HTH x

Consider yourselves baby-rearing geniuses!


With a slower teat and generally a slower approach to the feed, tonight was brilliant. I think that he had been so anti the bottle that sub-consciously I was really forcing him to go fast otherwise I thought that he wouldn't do it.


But tonight we stopped and read a story half way through, winded him properly and he had a full feed of 210 ml (which he has NEVER done before) and is now fast asleep hugging his moomin toy.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
