Is it normal for a baby to spit up after every feeding?

My 3 week old seems to be spitting up after every feeding. He mainly breast feeds, sometimes I give him formula. Also how do you tell the difference between spit up and vomit? Far as I know he is gaining weight and when he spits up he doesn't seem in discomfort. I think I have hyperlactation too how can i slow down my supply? because at times he does get cranky while feeding and has all the signs.okay well what is an easy way to get him off the breast? because he sometimes clamps down. and I will try that, if he doesnt burp after so many pats i just stop and figure he doesnt have to burp. And I have been proping him more and noticed he isnt as irritable or spits up less.

Recommended Answer:

Yes, this is normal for many babies. As it is not bothering him, it is largely a laundry problem; )As for the "hyperlactation" issue, you can try feeding on one side per feeding. The baby can always go to the other side if he's still hungry. I do not believe it is so important to interrupt the feeding to burp him, but I would continue to try burping after every feeding, and keeping him propped as well (as it seems to help).

• You are probably not burping him all the way just make sure when your feeding him to burp him every i think 15 minutes and to make sure he burps and you can prety much tell when hes done burping by how hard his stomach is ( its suppose to be easy to press on)
• Well he may have colic try giving him half of formula and burp then the other half then burp.alao have a bobby pillow and keep him lifted.Vomiting is when he spit up more then he is spitting right now.Good luck
• Yes, it can be normal. As long as he doesn't seem to be in pain, I wouldn't worry about it. Make sure you are burping him regularly. As for the hyper-lactation, that almost always resolves itself. You may want to try nursing in a reclined position, in the meantime.
