A member asked:

6 wk old with gerd. when nursed she continuously vomits the breast milk for over an hour. when given formula, no vomiting or spit up. help!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let down: Vomiting in breast fed babies can be triggered by a vigorous let down reflex (triggers gagging). If feeding expressed Breast milk in bottle causes the same problem, you may want to take a closer look at your diet or medications.
