My 4 week old throw up alot

Question

my 4 week old just threw up yellow throw up he is contipated so the doctor told me to put some karo suryp in his bottle is that why it was yellow

Answer 1

Same happened with my daughter at this age, the doctor recommended given her a little pear juice 1 oz to 3 oz of water. You may want to try a suppository they help as well.

Answer 2

little bits of chocolate or flat sodi what would normally cause diarrea in adults will cause it in babies but remember to give much smaller amounts and when he poops make sure to give him LOTS of fluids to make up for the dehidration that fallows diarrea

Answer 3

If your formula feeding add slightly more water to the formula. And offer the baby water in between feeds. There are formulas which are formulated to help with constipation; speak to your Doc or child health nurse about other options if adding slightly more water doesn't work.

Answer 4

Karo syrup is clear, it will not cause change in spit-up color, did he projectile vomit or just spit-up?

I would take him back to the dr tell them he has been vomiting a lot and not pooping they will probably do an ultrasound of his stomach to make sure there are not obstructions. At least call again if her has not eaten anything yellow he could be puking up some stomach bile, mine is always yellow before it turns green. better safe than sorry, good luck.

Answer 5

Don't use the karo anymore.  If he is constipated and you are breast feeding, you can try adjusting what you are eating - like maybe cut out the dairy.  If he is on formula, consider trying Similac Sensitive formula in an orange can.  Try giving him another feeding if you think he threw up his food an he is acting hungry.  

If he is just not pooping, try taking his temperature rectally - sometimes that make them go.

If he continues to throw up or act funny, call your doctor.

Answer 6

Could be the formula your baby is eating, same thing happened to my little girl, you may have to try a different kind
