Hi guys, just wanting some advice....
I think Mitchell's having trouble with not being able to burp properly during and after a feed and I think this is making him not want to feed for as long, especially during the night ones. And he's been a bit unsettled at night lately. He will usually feed on one boob for about 10 minutes, then I'll try and burp him, then he'll go on the other boob for about 10 minutes. He also spews alot :barf: , not just straight after a feed, but ALL the time...
Should I try some natural wind drops? Should I worry that he's not feeding for long enough? Or is this just normal baby behaviour?

EJ never really burped much when real little (and still doesnt) - I was giving her Brauers Colic relief (which is herbal) and I found that helped her burp a little better as well as get the wind through that was giving her stomach pains

Shes never been a large feeder also though does feed more often I think cause of that

I would suggest a chiropractor.

DD3 was like this and she had reflux as well. The chiro didn't really do much for the reflux (but this is a minority) but when she started going she was burping like a trooper. It helps them in many more ways too, they help boost their immune system, and sleeping, wow! she started sleeping sooooo well!! And they are never too young to go to a chiro!!

If you can afford it I would truely recommend it!!!:yelclap:
