Sicky Baby
Need some advice....
Zac has always been a 'sicky' baby and, although not all the time, would often sick back some milk after a feed, we put it down to him being greedy and taking on more than he needed.... he's never been poorly with it and always seems fine in himself, never affects his weight and he has the normal amount of wet/dirty nappies etc so it isn't dehydrating him or anything. I hoped it would steady with weaning and it seemed too but just lately he seems to do it all the time! And its not just sweet milk smelling sick anymore it actually smells like sick (sorry if tmi!)...... It just isn't funny anymore.... lately I feel like I only have to pick him up and at somepoint you can guarantee he'll be sick. As i said above though he isn't unhappy or anything and is his usual self and I'm proabbly being selfish as its more of a pain than anything but I just don't know what to do.... i reluctantly give tummy time as that tends to result in sick even if a few hours after a meal.... I worry that that is stunting his ability to roll etc and eventually crawl as I don't give him the practice as much as I should....
So, do they just grow out of it? could he be allergic to something? Any pearls of wisdom would be greatfully recieved....

How many oz does Zac drink in a bottle? Could you reduce it? Gabe was on 8-9oz until recently and I realised he was overfeeding and then being sick so I reduced it to 7oz, which he is happy with - he eats until he's full now, not so he's stuffed to bursting point!
Same goes with solids...increase portion sizes gradually. xx
Thing is if i take a botle away from him before its done he screams...

Is he on formula? My friend was recently told to trying changing her baby's formula to try and stop her being sick so often, she is 4 months but i'm not sure if it's made any difference yet
Mumof2 - Out of curiosity did your boys grow out of it and at what age?
