Why does my 6 week old spit up so much like 4 times after a feeding!

Several possible: Reasons. Your baby could be sick, could have a milk intolerance or allergy, could have reflux, or could be overfed........ See the doctor for an evaluation and discuss the problem.

Regurge: Infants easily have reflux or just spit out due to the small stomach. If you pat on the back does not help, then try to feed a little less. If still does not work, go to see the pediatrician.

Slower feeds: Feeding at an angle, slower feeds and burping the baby mid feed and after the feed may help in reducing reflux. If the vomit is green or red in color or forceful, please see the Emergency room right away. Monitor the temperature and watch for signs of infection. Please follow up with your Pediatrician.
