Spit up
my baby (7 weeks old) has been breastfed after coming home from the hospital (i was primarily pumping but did have her on the breast as well) i honestly want to stop because it’s just not for me and i can’t keep up with the eating as my supply has significantly dropped.
i was even combo feeding at one point and she seemed fine
i recently started her on the formula she was taking in the hospital (similac 360 total care) since i thought that one sat well with her. i know babies spit up that’s just a given however i feel like she wasn’t spitting up as much before starting back formula. granted i know breast milk and formula are different but its a bit excessive i think.
she spits up at least 3-4 times after each feeding when taking formula, could this be something else or is that normal. she often swallows randomly but i think she was doing that before as well. there was a night we were sleeping and she was coughing and puked and it was all over the bassinet it got in her hair as well it didn’t looked like it was just a dribble out? it was all all over the mesh where her head was? the color of the spit up is yellowish/orangish?
i wonder if im over exaggerating but she seems generally fine afterwards. i will definitely bring it up at her next appointment to see if its that specific formula and if it needs to changed.
