My 5 wk old breastfed DD has always possetted (regurgitated) her milk quite frequently, immediately after feeding. In last week or so she has started to get hungrier and is feeding loads more. Now she regurgitates loads of milk, sometimes up to 2 hours after the feed. (Actually not sure if it's 'chicken & egg' situation... hungry cos she's bringing more up!!)
Anyway how do I differentiate between normal possetting, and vomiting which all the books tell you is one of the signs to look for if baby is ill?
HV & Dr don't seem worried...have prescribed Inf Gaviscon which I've given up on for now as it is a nightmare (for various reasons..won't go there).
If she really was ill and vomiting how would I know? HV seems unable to answer this question.
Anyone with similar experience??
