Breastfed babies dont spew

**beansbeans!** · April 22nd, 2012, 10:25 PM

I just saw this as a status on fb of course....

If this is the case then there must be something seriously wrong with my girls... Ive lost count of the times that I have being spewed on by them when breastfeeding.

Something wrong with my poor bub too then! She was exclusively breastfed and whilst she didn't spew lots, there were enough little ones. Not to mention the power chuck that I'll never forget, had me really freaked out!

Oh I forgot about the power chucks.. Ive definately had my share of those too

That was then followed by the comment,

does bub prefer the bottle, maybe you try that.

(Oh this is about a status, where bub is fussy when feeding, wanting to play and chat)

i thought breastfed babies didn't fart either (cos my DD didn't until starting solids) .... then i had my DS.

The notion is that if attached correctly, they don't intake air when they swallow, this means you don't get as much posseting as you do from bottles. It is the really not that they don't spew as much as they don't require burping as often.

Like all baby advice and 'rules' though, there are just as many exceptions to the rule as there are followers

Lol I shouldn't be alive then because it is the family joke that if you wanted to find me once I started crawling you simply followed the spew trail. I was breast fed until 12 months

Oh gosh, don't know what my Buster is eating then! It's a good day if he's only been changed twice and myself just once! Moo never chucked so I think this one is making up for the both of them.

Haha my dd spewed a dozen times a day until she stopped bf at 4 months, any puke after that was rare!

Lol, just as I was reading this thread I thought I could smell baby vomit, which was odd as I had just put my newborn DD to bed. I then happened to touch the top of my cardigan and I've discovered that DD must have done a small vomit while I was holding her on my chest with her head on my shoulder and I didn't realise at the time. Ewwww. She's fully breastfed
