Projectile vomiting

My baby is projectile vomiting at least once a day at least once a day. Is this normal? Could it be reflux? Should I call the doctor? He’s exclusively breastfed

My baby's the same! It peaked at 3 weeks and I took her to the hospital because I was so worried but they said its a combination of reflux and overfeeding. They just told me to hold her upright for 30 mins after a feed and to burp her half way through a feed which we have been doing and it seems to really help. They also gave us gaviscon but she won't take a bottle so she hasn't been having it. She's 8 weeks old tomorrow and we have good days and bad days but I think it's just something that will get better with time. Obviously if baby is in pain or isn't feeding and has less wet and dirty nappies its a cause for concern

Same here and have been told it’s reflux. My midwife / health visitor wasn’t concerned as he is putting on loads of weight. Red flags would be if the vomit is green or any blood and if they aren’t gaining weight. I was told we could try gaviscon but that it causes constipation so I haven’t so far as I don’t want to cause more discomfort! Like Annisa we have good days and bad days, so I’m hoping to just ride it out.

Do you drink a lot of caffeine? Mine had this and apparently caffeine can make it worse so I cut it out and it’s only happened a few times since (overfeeding usually) x
