Vomits after feed
Hi, i am feeding my baby with a bottle by expressing breastmilk. Yesterday night my baby had a large amount of milk due to hunger. 10 minutes after burping she puked large amount of milk (near about 3-4 tablespoons). 15 mins before the feed, she had Ostocalcium syrup.
Today in evening she was in sleep when i tried feeding her, she drank the milk and had a small burp, but then 5min later she puked near about 2 tablespoon. She had Ostocalcium 15-20mins before the feed.
Is there something to worry about Doc? Should i take my baby physically to the pediatrician?

Hi!
You didn't mention yr baby's age and how much feeding she takes at a time.
Sometimes due to overfeeding the child may vomit 2-3 times a day even after Burping, that's quite common, so nothing to worry.
Y are you giving ostocalcium for long duration ??
If not needed avoid this medicine

Talk to experienced orthopedist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Vomiting due to overfeeding is fairly common among infants, but if the symptoms continue beyond a couple of days or inspite of decreasing the amount of milk given or if the baby's weight gain/ urine output / energy levels get affected , then u need to get the baby examined. Also if your baby is less than 3 months of age and is continuously vomiting then he/ she needs to be seen.
