Big giant sick

[english rose]

My LO has done a great big sick a couple of times now - quite projectile and appears to be the entire contents of her tummy. She did it once last week and once yesterday. Other than that she seems fine - I just wondered whether you LOs do this or if this could be a sign of reflux???? (Not really sure what is considered reflux)

I think now and again is just one of those things where as reflux is on a regular basis, like most feeds. I'm sure a mummy with reflux experience will be able to advise more

Jack did it a few times when he was tiny, usually in the early hours of the morning. I think if they drink more than they need it comes back out. As long as it's on the odd occasion she should be fine x

Henry has done it a few times the last few days but is done other than that. Think his eyes were bigger than his belly!

James has done it twice once at 6 days and once at 12 days sometimes their tummies just reject it I'm sure baby will be fine usually with reflux they scream and do it most feeds xx

Dylan did this once at 5 days, once at 6 days, 3 times at 8 days and then only about 3 times since, now 30 days old. Mw and hv said if he's well in himself, putting on weight and not doing it all the time, its fine. Can be scary though, he goes bright red with wide eyes!

Before Chloe was diagnosed with reflux she used to be sick after around 90% of her meals. She would also arch her back and scream during and after meals, you could tell she was in pain and because of this she didn't feed properly and so didn't put on weight. She also hiccupped constantly.

If your LO is generally happy, putting on weight and has the correct amount of wet and dirty nappies then I would say it's a case of eyes bigger than belly
