erica, poopie: my LO also will spit up, which is fine nothing major but she does 'vomit' as well and it smells like vomit, it is only milk that has been sitting there longer so looks curdled, if your LO is not upset by bringing this up 'happy chucker' then there really is no need to worry or do anything (thats what i was told by mide wife), no need to top up either. Apparently it looks like a lot more comes out than we think and two table spoons is not a lot compared to what they are getting. If your LO has reflux you would know, Chloe def doesnt have reflux but does bring milk up and sometimes while sleeping she may bring some up but she never cries about it so it obviously doesnt bother her, but i have tilted the mattress for her so she is more comfortable.
Badmummy: i have read somewhere that green poo may mean that the baby is only getting the foremilk and not reaching the hindmilk. How long does she feed on each side? i was trying to regulate my breasts (right side was twice the size of left and always painful so tried to get them equal) and i was feeding short spurts on each side, her poos turned green then i changed back to letting her completely finish one side, usually after that she doesnt want the second side but her poos turned yellow after that.
AFM: going to have her 6 week check up today hope she has been putting on enough weight, i think she has she certainly looks like she is getting bigger!
well that is all from me, LO is waking for a feed
