![]() ![]() I would want to keep baby close to me while baby was sleeping, so you could be aware if baby was having difficulty. In the meantime, it can help to keep baby upright after a feed, and to keep lots of towels handy if you're burping baby. By the time she could sit alone, it had almost entirely disappeared. She grew out of it, slowly, as her system matured. She was famous for doing it while I was carrying her over my shoulder, and making huge puddles all over the floor. I remember her doing it once all over my couch, five minutes before DH's boss came for dinner. She used to let fly at least a few times a day, and it would shoot out all over the place. I think with any projectile vomiting in a newborn, I'd check with a healthcare provider just to be sure.īut really- it happens. The quantity will be large, and it'll shoot out far enough to miss your lap and land on the floor. With pyloric stenosis- the vomiting will usually occur within a half hour or forty-five minutes of the feed, and you'll notice it getting more and more frequent, until it starts to be with every feed. The baby is 6 lbs 2 oz, and has been frequently weighed and judged to be gaining about an ounce a day, which I have been assured is a good rate of weight gain Since baby seemed otherwise pretty normal (other than her infrequent pooping schedule which I am writing about separately), I was fine with that, but what do you think. My fear is that she will end up with a crazy spit-up in the night which will choke her.įor what it's worth, my mother was here to witness one of these episodes yesterday and suggested I NOT call the pediatrician, because babies just do this. Since I am concerned about overstuffing her, it is not always my first choice to feed her as soon as she screams, especially if she just ate (she is exclusively breast-fed). She seems to writhe in pain and anger, but calms down if fed. She has horrible periods of "colic" at night, between about 8 and 12 or so. This forceful spitting is preceded by a "choking" face, and grabbing at her mouth for a second. All I know is that she does it every once in a while, and that she will do it again. But I can't really predict what will cause it. She has done this on occasions where I can look at her last feeding and see what I did wrong: once I way overfed her (she is only 6 lbs), once she was acting too hyper to latch well and she drank air, etc. My 2-week old baby has a habit of projectile vomiting (well, the "vomit" is really just spit-up, but it shoots right out, even traveling a couple of feet through the air) about once a day.
