My seven week old son is exclusively breast fed but spits up a ton Question My seven week old son is exclusively breast fed but spits up a ton This happens not only right after a feeding but also several hours after a feeding It is usually chunky like spoiled milk He is also very fussy all the time I've tried keeping him elevated during feedings are for an hour after but it doesn't seem to help the spit up or fussiness at all I also burp him after each breast He is gaining weight During several feeding perday he will nurse well at one breast and then burp But when I try to offer the second he screams and arches his back He will refuse the second breast and cry inconsolably for 30 min to an hour until he finally takes the second (I try offering multiple times during this) Nothing seems to sooth him The spitting up also causes a lot of gagging and choking (he is my third breastfed child) Any suggestions
