Talk to Pediatrician on Baby Spitting Up

person-avatar

Asking For Other, Male 1, Islamabad

My baby is 45 days old.I have changed formula milk 5 days ago from bf1 to nan opti pro 1. Baby has started spitting up all the milk and now the frequency of spits up has increased. Baby spits up milk more than consumed. She has nasal blockage and chest congestion as well. And medicine helped to get red of it. Is accessive vomiting due to change of milk? Should i go back to the previous milk? Also baby has gained. 84 kg in 45 days.

spitting is most probably due to nasal blockade, nevertheless babies take time to get used to a different formula
weight gain is quite good that means his nutrition and diet is adequate
right now use salinase drops to clear nasal bockade 1 to 2 drops in each nostril 4 times a day or whenever nose is blocked
also steam inahalation but donot place baby's face near source of steam
if the problem doesn't resolve , you should ask again

All babies spit some milk. Best solution is letting him burp after each feed. Check daily weight. If any decrease in weight, you will need checkup in clinic. Otherwise letting him burp is enough. No medication at this stage. Change of milk company sometimes helps but you need to go through hit and trial.

BF 1 is fine enough, you should have continued with the same formula milk.
Main fault lies on your side as you are supposed to feed your baby, while in your lap and do burp properly for good about 25 minutes, later abdominal messages for 2 to 3 times a day will give you additional benefits.
If there is nasal blockade, instill normal saline nasal drops ; 2 to 3 times a day, for Chest congestion you are supposed to get a proper check-up for that matter.
AC breeze must not be directed towards the baby and the room temperature should be according to the baby's comfortability and not for the comfort of the parents.
