Question

A male newborn, 19 days old today. He is being fed a mixture of breast milk and formula. In the past two days, he has been frequently feeding. From 2:30 PM to now [embarrassed], he has eaten as follows: 2:30 PM - 90 ml breast milk, 3:00 PM - 150 ml breast milk, 4:30 PM - 40 ml formula, 5:00 PM - 60 ml formula, 5:50 PM - 30 ml formula. Is this normal eating or is there something uncomfortable? He just vomited.

Answer

Based on your description, the baby seems to have not eaten enough at one time, so he has been crying for food and has been fed frequently, which can easily lead to indigestion and vomiting. I suggest you don’t worry too much. Increase the feeding and make sure to feed the baby enough at each feeding session. Start with breast milk and add formula if needed. Give the baby Vitamin AD drops daily to enhance calcium absorption in the body. These are my suggestions for this issue, hoping they will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
