I didn't unless she was asking for it or seemed hungry. Generally though she was fine. I found that frequent breaks and regular burping throughout the feed session helped reduce the amount ejected at the end of the feed though.
You probably only have a few more months left of it - she will grow out of it and soon it will be a distant memory
You mean advice other than always pack three changes of clothes for her and at least one spare top for you? And a towel!
We had less chucking after feeding lying down - I think it may have enabled him to feed a bit slower and stop before he was over-full.
I would offer again half an hour to a hour later (if he was awake), but not immediately.
Oh you have my sympathies. No one believed me when I told them how much DS spewed until they saw it for themselves. I would never feed again afterwards, and he seemed to get to the next feed with no worries. So as long as the weight gain is there I wouldn't bother refeeding.
I ended up having a bucket/container next to me when I fed and I could catch the spew. Saved the towels, bibs, my clothes, his clothes, couch etc.
I would just follow her cues. I've had a couple of spewers and found it easier to just let them decide if they wanted another feed after a spew or not.
I had a couple of happy chuckers, I invested in the old fashioned cloth nappies to use as chuck rags
If weight gain is fine, then I wouldn't offer again after the spew unless she wants more.
I didn't feed DS1 again after his spews. He never asked for more so I figured he was just drinking way more than he could possibly have needed. I know it looks like there couldn't be anything left in their belly, but there is. If she is growing well and settles fine then don't worry.
