Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Specialist Questions Breastfeeding

My baby has been throwing up his milk. Is it normal?

My baby has been throwing up a lot of my breastmilk. I know that this is somewhat common, but it's happening almost constantly. I'm very worried, and my husband says that I have nothing to be worried about--based off of what our pediatrician says. Do you think that there is something wrong? Am I overthinking?

If your baby is gaining weight and seems well its okay. If your baby is irritable or losing weight I would redisuss with pediatrician. Michael L Spear, MD, MSEdl Faculty Advisor, Honor Board Professor of Pediatrics Drexel University College of Medicine
