Question
My 5week old Baby Keeps Throwing Up After Being Breastfed This Just Happened Recently After Not Being Able To Poop For 4 days. But She Could Drink Formula Just Fine.

Answer
I am sure it seems that the baby is throwing up after he drinks the breastmilk but not the formula, usually the formula is what irritates a babies stomach as its harder to digest and has so many allergens and waste product. My guess would be if you stopped giving the formula, over time, only breastmilk will settle the babies stomach and you wont have the throwing up issue.

Good luck!
