3 week old throwing up

Question

My 3 week old won't burp sometimes and he ends up throwing up formula through his mouth and nose is that normal?

Answer 1

you should chech that out with a doctor

Answer 2

My son spit up all the time, even through his nose.  The valve closing off his stomach was underdeveloped.  He was never in pain, though.

If your child is not in pain, I wouldn't worry so much.  Also, this is not an attack on your parenting, but if possible, breastfeed.  It's much easier for your baby to digest and may help him not to spit up so much.

Answer 3

My son does that sometimes.  It is probably nothing other than reflux (common in newborns), but you definitely want to talk to his doctor about it.  

Answer 4

I would definitely put a call into your pediatrician.  It could be something simple but it doesn't hurt to talk to someone.

Answer 5

the same thing was happening to my daughter at about the same age too, (she's now 8 weeks). i was very worried so i called her pediatrician and he said it's very commonly caused by over-feeding. in which case try a pacifier to soothe, instead of the bottle (as long as you know the baby really isn't hungry).

Answer 6

Sounds like Acid Reflux, you should contact your pediatrician. If it is acid reflux the best bottle out there to use is Dr Browns when infants spit up too much it's because of the air trapped in the bottles get's into the infants system. But again contact the pediatrician's after hours line.
