My DD is eight weeks old and is having issues with her tummy!

We started with Enfamil Lipil w/iron and that gave her severe gas, then went to gentlease that made her spit up quite frequently, now she is on enfamil lactofee. She has been doing better on this formula then the rest but I am now concerned. After a feeding, she will spit up anywhere from none to a little at a time. My biggest concern is she spits up curdled milk with water like substance sometimes really chunky up to two hours AFTER a feeding.

ANy thoughts on what this could be?

It sounds like the symptoms of DGE (delayed gastric emptying). I bet someone whose baby has this can chime in and give you more info. Basically what I understand is that the baby’s tummy doesn’t empty as quickly as it should, and that is why even hours later he/she will spit up milk that is sometimes partly digested (curdled milk).

My son had DGE and he would spit up stuff he ate even three to four hours earlier. As long as she’s not in any pain and she’s gaining weight normally, then it’s probably nothing to worry about. My son also had reflux and needed medication to control his pain, but the DGE was something his doc said did not need to be treated unless it was severe enough to cause problems with weight gain. He outgrew it around a year of age.
