After eating, my son sometimes coughs and then throws up about an ounce. Is this a GERD (reflux)symptom?

Other people asked questions on various topics, and are still
waiting for answer. Would be great if you can take a sec and
answer them

After eating, my son sometimes coughs and then throws up about an ounce. Is this a GERD (reflux)symptom?Or could he just be getting a gag reflex from choking? He starts to cough, choke a little then vomit sometimes during feeding or shortly after. It doesn't always happen, but its enough to make me worry. About once or twice a day.

My son does have reflux, and I am wondering if I should thicken his formula with cereal. He's on Nutramigen because they suspect a milk protein allergy but he still has the same symptoms 2 months later on it. He will be 6 months on the 10th. He is gaining weight fine.

I will ask his doctor tomorrow, just interested in other opinions of mothers.
LoL, coffee huh? I think I will stick to the medical professionals.

Sounds like plain old baby spit up to me.

Usually with reflux it is a constant thing meaning it will be going on all day long. Is it spitting up or vomit? Is he on any medication or anything for the reflux? You might need to put him on something stronger? I would suggest to thicken the formula and for now to start on rice cereal or oatmeal in the morning.

Just remember that babies tend to spit up. Which is completely normal. If it was a lot then I would be worried. Before we added oatmeal to my sons formula he would spit up anywhere from 2-4 ounces between bottles. This would happen all day long

Well, no you see, in my opinion, babby is showing his disgust for milk and asking for hot coffee! You see, babbies cannot really talk for about a year, so he has to find other ways to tell you he likes hot coffee more than anything else!
