    It smelt like milk.

    SIL and her lot recently had a bug so she could have caught something. And we think she may have reflux because she has been a bit spewy and iv noticed she pukes and swallows it again.

    And i always stop half way and give her a burp and a bit of a break.

    i dunno this one was just different and there was a lot of puke it covered the whole front of her and was all over the front of me.

    But i will continue to offer her bottles to keep her fluids up.

    I found if mine chucked like that when really young, they didn't need the 2nd one (But it took me a while to learn that though ) It was an overful reaction.. But I would suggest cutting back the amount, and see how she goes. Are you demand feeding, or feeding by the clock, or a mixture of the 2?

    If demand feed, does she take more at some feeds then others? I found that my kids followed the same patterns as BF children even though they were FF. The might have 1 or 2 big feeds through the day and a few little ones, and often cluster fed through the afternoon, then a bigger feed at night before bed, and 2 or 3 feeds overnight..

    Maybe the timed feeds, she just isn't ready for it.. Maybe another 1/2 hr when she is ready, she will take it on board.

    You will both settle into a pattern soon..

    I'd try stopping every 10mls or so to give her a burp for a minute or two and then giving her another 10mls and so on till she finishes or doesn't want anymore. It might just make it that bit easier for her to get it down. HTH

    Eden always puked her bottles (and breastmilk) and she has reflux. It looks like its a lot more than it actually is, and I never made another bottle or tried another feed until she actually looked hungry, not just cos I thought she might have sorta emptied herself - if that makes sense?

    Eden puked up a lot of breastmilk, and was better on formula - are you FFing or EBMing? For some reason Eden couldn't tolerate my milk and didn't gain any weight whilst I was feeding

    I'm pretty used to vomit now, after having 2 babies that did puke all the time, and the paediatrician I saw with DS just said its not as much as you think - it just looks like heaps, and to just feed them again when they seem hungry (you know that nahhh... nahhhh.. nahhh cry)

    My sympathies to you though - I hate vomit!!! Eden still vomits and she's 8 months old.. LOL
