Should I be concerned?

My little one is 6 weeks old and the last couple of days she has started to spit up more we haven’t changed her formula or the amount we are giving her. I’ve just changed her nappy and her bowel movement is loose but it’s the first one she has had. Do you think it’s something to be concerned about or just cause she is still small and sensitive to things?

I would say a little spit up is normal but if she doesn’t gain weight because it’s a lot then could be something like reflux. Bowel moments will constantly change. Obviously if you are worried then definitely contact either your GP or health visitor even if just for peace of mind x

My baby sometimes has loose bowels and usually he goes once a day but if he’s been longer than usual the loose bowels come, if that makes sense, almost like a clear out. Spit up is normal too and can be on and off with formula, I find it seems to make babies more phlegmy and more sicky because of that. My baby spits up a lot and I find it’s after he’s been abit more phlemy because of his formula. I don’t know if this is helpful and I know all babies are different xx

I'm going through this right now my EBF 6 weeks old, maybe it's just a phase as their digestive system develops or something, after every feed he is throwing up but seems content otherwise and has done MASSIVE poops today after not much for a day or two. Started a few days ago, I'm not worried though but trust your instinct if you think something is wrong x
