did you experience this or is it normal?
Charlie doesn't bring wind up very easily, if at all although he also doesn't seem to be in any discomfort as a result but i wonder if this is related to my problem?
Basically Charlie seems to be bring up quite a bit of milk, not huge quantities but it happens quite often. He can just be lying/sitting there and suddenly it pours out his mouth, there is no warning with a burp before hand though it kinda comes from nowhere!
He must of had this happen to him a few times during the night as his mattress was soaked, as was his hair and it worries me that he'll choke. Any thoughts? is it normal or should i be worried? xx

Amber did this all the time as a newborn, up until around 10 weeks, very rarely does it now unless she is being a greedy bum!
It is called posseting and the milk just pours out the mouth as they have such tiny tummies it sometimes just comes back up. We went through tonnes of muslin clothes, put one on the mattress too and replace when he has been a bit sicky again.
Its very normal so not to worry he will turn his head for it to come out too, if it becomes v frequent or really bad speak to your hv or gp as then it could be reflux, of course mention it to your hv next time you see her anyway as that is what they are there for.
Hope that helps xx
