Baby spit up?

Question

My newborn is 1 week old, past 2 days he’s been spitting up a little and when he’s eating (from my breast) milk dribbles and he has to pull away to catch his breath. Today milk came out of his nose before he even latched on, he wants to eat every hour sometimes every 2 hours. What should I do, is this normal?

Answer

Sounds like an overactive letdown.
Try hand expressing or using a haakaa until milk starts flowing. Then attach babe!

Answer

If it keep coming out his nose, have the pediatrician check to make sure he doesn't have a submuccous cleft pallet

Answer

Or you can even hand express to trigger your letdown so it doesn’t happen while he’s latched😚

Answer

Your letdown may just be too forceful for him right now, what you can do is when he seems like he’s getting hungry use a haaka on your breast you’re going to use first and trigger a letdown so that way you’ll catch milk to save and he won’t have to struggle to keep it in!
