I recently switched to formula instead of breast feeding. Now my newborn throws up a lot what to do? Should I be worried?

Might need to try a different formula.
Burp baby after every oz.
Make sure there's not a lot of bubbles in it
Make sure baby is sucking in air.
Don't prop feed.

Formula is harder on their tummies then breastmilk

How long ago did you switch? Did you call your pediatrician? A different formula might help.

 You may have to try a different formula. Formula fed babies do tend to spit up a bit more. If she seems to be throwing up more than she takes in, call her pedi and ask what they would recommend. Sounds like you just need to try another formula though.

Is the baby throwing up  or spitting up.  Spitting up is quite normal with formula feeding.  If the child is throwing up ask the doctor about another formula.  If the formula you are giving is dairy based your child may need a soy formula.

These are all very good suggestions.

How old is ur newborn and is it ur 1st and its it a boy??? My oldest son was 6-8 weeks when he started throwing up everytime he ate. I took him to his doctor and she made an appt to get an ultrasound done for him. I can pronounce or spell those "doctor" words but they found a mucle on his tummy that was really big and everytime he ate, he would throw up. I had to take him to MUSC to get surgery done on him. The doctors said that they see this all the time. It happens in white womans 1st boy, thats the doctors exact words. My son is now 2.5 heathy boy.
