Sean split milk almost every feeding unless he fell into sleep right after the feed. Well, he has infant acid reflux, which is commonly known has colic or heartburn.
It happened right after each feeding and when we burp him, he would split up milk. If he doesn't fall asleep after feeding, he would curl up both his legs just like the sit-up position, then he would split milk again. So, you can imagine the clothes we need to change on him throughout the whole day. The highest record is changing 5 clothes in one feeding!
He would cry and arch his back when he is about to burp, guess the gas in his tummy is pushing up through the throat. Because, he farted a lot! :-)
Luckily I have lots of hand down clothes from Evan's Mummy and Kelvin/Kaithlyn Mummy's. If not, surely need to get more for Sean :-(
Well, we have discussed this with his PD and we were assured nothing to worry about since Sean is gaining weight and growing well. It will go away as baby grow older. True enough we are seeing improvement lately as we are seeing him splitting lesser milk. He made lesser stretching and loud throat sounds lately. *grin*

Hey not to worry..Rou used to be a colicky baby too. She outgrown it after the 5th month. Just have to bear with it. And yes, most of her clothes cannot be recycled after having too much of milk stain on it. =)
Same thing happen to Shan too, and the doctor also assured us it's OK. Kind feel wasted on the breastmilk though but at that time, just worrying and thinking about baby's health.
I didn't keep track of how many clothes we changed Shan but I know sometimes, I need changing too! Funny thought, it didn't happen that much when I direct feed. You?
CW - lesser spit milk if Sean didn't sleep..i guess it's the tummy gas
