Q:My baby has started bringing milk back up and now his feeding is all out of sync.Is this normal?

Regurgitating small amounts of milk after each feed is called posseting.The difficulty is that babies then get hungry soon after and you can find yourself in a vicious cycle.Your baby's tummy is about the size of his fist,so it's easy to see why he'll bring milk back up if he feeds too quickly or has too much.You can try slowing down the rate of his feed by extra winding and slower flow teats if you're bottle-feeding.After a feed,sit your little one up for a while to let gravity do its job.When you put him down to sleep,raise the head of the whole cot slightly (rather than raising the mattress) so he is at a 30 degrees upward tilt to encourage the milk to stay down.Keep an eye on your baby's growth,too.If he's gaining weight,there's often nothing to worry about.Posseting generally gets better in time,especially as your baby starts to sit up more and the muscles at top of the stomach strengthen.In the meantime,keep muslins at hand and give extra cuddles.
