A member asked:

My newborn is 2 weeks old and frequently spits up after feedings (only breast milk) sometimes can spit up 1-2hrs later. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal: Reflux (spitting up) is perfectly normal. If it is accompanied by other signs such as weight loss, poor weight gain, fussiness, discomfort, bleeding, back arching, choking, trouble breathing then see your doctor right away.
