Neville MC, et al. It's easy to overfeed a baby when using a bottle because it easier to drink from a bottle than from a breast. Make sure that the hole on the bottle's nipple is the right size.
The liquid should drip slowly from the hole and not pour out. Also, resist the urge to finish the bottle when your baby shows signs of being full. Never prop a bottle. Propping a bottle might cause choking and it increases the chances of getting ear infections and tooth decay. It's normal for infants to "spit up" after eating or during burping. Spitting up a small amount — less than 1 ounce 30 ml — shouldn't be a concern as long as it happens within an hour of feeding and doesn't bother your baby.
If your baby seems to be spitting up large amounts, is spitting up forcefully, is irritable during or after feedings, or seems to be losing weight or is not gaining weight as expected, call your doctor.
And if your child has a fever or shows any signs of dehydration such as not wetting diapers , call the doctor right away. Reviewed by: Mary L. Choose a location. Your breastfeeding journey.
