A member asked:

My 3 mth old breastfed son is spitting up after every feeding. somewhat irritable. no fever. do i need to take him to the doctor?

Yes: It sounds like your son may have gerd - gastroesophageal reflux and/or a formula intolerance. Your pediatrician would be able to review his feedings and symptoms, weight and examine him. It may require some advice about upright positioning, smaller more frequent feedings, a medication for gerd and/or a change in formula depending on severity.

Discuss with doctor: I would discuss this with you pediatrician.If he is otherwise thriving, he is either reacting something you eat or drink, or most likely has a form of acid reflux.
