Reply : Your baby is at the stage where physiologic reflux is common. Give small frequent feeds, 2 ounce at once, burp him for 15 min then feed the rest. Avoid over feeding, don't lay him down flat after feeding keep his head end higher than foot end. Also thickening of formula can help keep the milk down.
