Baby Throwing Up After Drinking the Bottle

The baby is drinking about 3 oz/feeding. She throws up and gasps, like she can't breathe well. She also coughs and chokes. What's wrong with her? She's 3 days old.






Baby Help Line Response:

Poor girl! Could it be that the nipple hole is too big so that the milk flows too fast for her?

Turn the full bottle upside down without shaking. If milk flows instead of drips, the nipple hole is too large.

You can also try to hold her in a slightly more upright position and see if that makes it easier for her.

If none of this helps, get back to me. (And congratulations to your daughter!)

 I had that problem too
by: Candace

When my daughter was born I tried nursing her and everytime I nursed her she would throw up and start screaming. I was very conscious of my diet so I knew it wasn't anything I was eating that was causing this problem. The doctor told me to try her on formula. We tried several formulas with the same results. Finally he put her on a soy based formula. She was apparently lactose intolerant. My grandson had a similar problem. I know there is now a formula out there that is for sensitive stomachs but I can't remember the name of it. I would suggest seeing if changing formulas helps.
