Hello. I am a first time mum.my little boy was born at 27 weeks. He is now two weeks adjusted. He has always been a very windy baby but for the last 3 weeks he vomits after every feed while trying to bring up wind. Also it takes quiet a long time for me to wind him and a feed could last up to 90minutes, most of that time taken to wind him. He is allergic to cows milk so is on a prescription milk at the moment. Am wondering if it is the milk causing this or could it be my inexperienced winding! Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is quiet stressful watching him vomit all the time and am worried he is not gaining weight. He is due to be weighed next week!

How long has it been since he was born? Have you addressed this with his pediatrician?

He has been born almost 15 weeks. I have mentioned it to his nurses in the ICU but they have just passed it off as being a prem baby and that he will grow out of it. They are probably right but is there anything I can do to help him until he does grow out of it? I have tried infacol but it doesn't always help. He is due a follow up in the hospital next week so will mention it again.
