A member asked:
Why is my newborn throwing up more then he eats and he's only two days old?

Common problem: Newborns may take a few days to sort out how to keep the wet stuff down & let the burps come up. If he's ready to eat again within a few minutes it is really just a super sized wet burp.Burp at frequent intervals & keep him upright for a half hour after feeds & this should improve.If not discuss with the kids doc.

Reflux: Spitting up or reflux is very common in newborn infants. There are several causes from overfeeding to an immature GI system or protein intolerance. Make sure you are not over feeding him and make sure he burps well after feeding. His primary care provider will monitor his weight and length, making sure these are not affected by his throwing up.
