Specializes in Pediatric Allergy and Asthma

Frequency and volume: She may be feeding too quickly and filling the stomach before it can empty. Adjusting the volume and slowing feeds may help. Continue to burp mid feed and after a feed. If you notice blood in the vomitus, please check with your pediatrician right away. Other causes include an infection, please monitor for fever.
