Baby spitting up mucus like stuff

2022-01-10 21:30:12
My 12 week old has congestion since past two weeks. Been to peds and ruled out infection. From last two days he is spitting up tacky mucus like clear to white stuff nearly after every feed, sometimes even an hour or two after feed. He is also very gassy since past 2 days and cries while passing gas. Is it normal? Do I need to visit peds again? I don't feel comfortable going out as I live in a very high risk area for omicron. Advice is appreciated. Also he is primarily formula fed (Nan pro1) as I have very low lactation supply due to hormone imbalance

This is normal. Mild regurgitation of feed can be possible because of immaturity of lower food pipe valve. Do burping for 15-20 minute after feed. If symptoms persist give domperidone drops(1ml/10mg) 5drops tds.
