A member asked:
My 10wk old baby has a really strong gag reflex and often vomits due to this during/after feeds atleast 2 out of 6 feeds. what can i do? is this bad?

Mgt: There may be an issue with her coordination in swallowing the formula. In addition, reflux may contribute to this problem. Smaller volume feedings at an angle of at least 30 degrees, may help. I would advise feeding the baby with your provider observing these symptoms. A virtual consult is also available.
