Is It Normal For An Infant To Throw Up Immediately After Feeding?
My son is 3 months now and I breast feed him. He always seems to throw up right after and he has been doing this since birth. What is this and is it okay? He also has watery eyes and does not feel well. He also has thick saliva in his mouth. Please need advice..

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Usually babies bring out some milk soon after feed till 5 months.
This is normal and is called rumination.
As he grows old he will be alright,
You need not worry as long as he is gaining weight properly.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
