Swallowing air while nursing?

Question

Baby Henry is 2 weeks old now and occasionally while nursing he seems to be swallowing a lot of air.  Twice now he has projectile spit up and I know it's because of all the air.  His latch is good.  I am not sure how to correct this.  Any feedback?

Answer

I burp my son after every 5 minutes of feeding or so because he was doing this and it seems to work really well!

Answer

It's ok,  theyll always swallow some air. Make sure you're shoving as much boob in their mouth as you can, that helps! However if your baby continues to projectile vomit you really want to let your pediatrician know. Spit up is fine, even if it's fairly constant. But projectile vomiting is something you want to call in about
