your baby may have reflux so it would be best for his pediatrician to provide some medication for him. he may likely have reflux if you use the cereal mixed with his formula (this is an old treatment for spitting up but we have better ways now). if he is hungry and not holding down his formula long enough for it to be absorbed and utilized this is a critical problem that needs proper management. babies of this age need proper nourishment from formula or breast milk and cereal offers very little. as a matter of fact cereal will fill him up to the point where he will eat less of the beneficial formula. at age 3 months or so (getting close! ) babies tend to spit up less and tolerate feedings better but you should not wait. there are plenty of medications that can help him hold down his food.
can i give my 2 1/2month old baby cereal mixed in his formula to help with vomiting and hunger? . he spits up on every feeding and on more than one occasion vomited what he had ate in 2-3settings at once. he eats between 3-5oz every 1 1/2-2hrs. i worry at night because he throws up after being burped plenty and layed down and i sometimes don't hear him on the monitors and don't know until he wakes me up for his next feeding. we've tried cutting back on his food but he seems to only be getting hungrier and wanting to eat more frequently.
