Hi David, Congratulations to your little son! That newborn babies throw up is very common and considered normal up to some extent. Excessive throwing up combined with pain and weight loss is often diagnosed as acid reflux. Something the babies grow away from but that might need medication along the way. But "just" throwing up after eating is messy but nothing that needs treatment. A few things you can do is to burp your son halfway through the feeding. Quite often the spitting up comes from air beneath all the formula. You can also try to feed your baby is a more upright position to help him swallow less air. Finally make sure the bottle nipple hole is of the right size, dripping fast but not more than that when you hold it upside down. Hope this helps. Enjoy this short time, very soon your newborn baby will be all pink, chubby and smiling. /Paula
