Can breastfeeding cause vomiting?
After some feeds, my baby has started vomiting, and I'm exclusively breastfeeding. Could my breast milk or the act of breastfeeding itself be causing him to vomit?

Honestly if anyone is vomiting here, it's my baby on my favorite t-shirt every single night. Jokes aside, breastfeedin itself shouldn't make u vomit. If you're feeling pukeish, maybe you are just exhausted like me or not drinking enough water. Pls check if you are catching a stomach bug or something.

Mere saath bhi aisa hua tha starting me. I used to feel very nauseous while feeding. I started chewing a small piece of ginger or keeping saunf in my mouth, which helped a lot. But if you are actually throwing up frequently, please check with your doctor once.

Look, simple baat hai. Breastfeeding directly doesn't trigger vomiting. You are probably severely dehydrated or having some gastric issue. Go and consult your doctor instead of guessing, okay?

Actually, lactation hormones can sometimes make you feel slightly nauseous in the beginning, but actual vomiting is not normal. You might have food poisoning or a severe migraine. Better see a doc and get it sorted quickly.

Nahi beta, doodh pilane se ulti nahi hoti hai. Apne khane peene ka dhyan rakho, thoda aaram karo. Agar zyada tabiyat kharab lag rhi hai toh bade doctor ko dikha lo, laparvahi mat karna bilkul.
