Reflux breastfeeding? 9daysold

Question

Hey mamas, 
My baby is 9 days old today and we've been struggling with feedings. 
So we are combo feeding, but since I don't have enough milk it's formula mostly. Maybe a ratio of 4breasmilk in 12 feeds. 
And maybe it's in my head but lately, feels like he's getting more reflux after breastfeeding. Even now,, he had formula for the past 2 feeds and I have him my expressed milk now,. IMMEDIATE REFLUX. 
Has anyone else had this problem?

Answer

I agree with C. Get in touch with an IBCLC ASAP. 
 Just curious - how was it determined that you have low supply?

Answer

We live in the country so it wasn’t convenient for us to reach out to a breastfeeding consultant or get to one. If that’s an issue keep trying different things. Us who live far from consultants and the pediatrician and doctors just keep tryin things til we find what works.  N yes I’ve tried reaching out.  The only support I’ve had as a mom is my best girl friend n she breastfed and pumped for two my sister n my husband n my mom n his mom.

Answer

I have used this for her when she was small. Seemed to help.

Answer

Breastmilk is thinner than formula but easier to digest than formula. Formula is harder on the stomach. 
Don’t jump to conclusions for dairy allergy as there is way more symptoms involving that than just “reflux”. And if it was a dairy allergy then baby would spit up on formula also as formula has dairy in it. So the dairy allergy thing doesn’t make sense. 
If you are wanting to breastfeed then you need to stop the formula as that is hindering proper milk supply. 
See an IBCLC for any breastfeeding information. Not a dr as they aren’t educated in breastfeeding at all.

Answer

Ask the pediatrician for help.

Answer

Could possibly be a dairy allergy or something u eat. It’s so many factors. My sister exclusively breastfed two boys n they always ate til they’d reflux n she’d always always say it’s normal. They’re 5 and 11 now. My baby spit up too but not as much as her boys.
