What Causes Dry Heaves After Formula Intake?
after finishing a 3 1/2 oz bottle of formula and after burping him, my 4 week old son seemed to be dry heaving or like he was trying to cough up a hairball like a cat. it didn t phase him at all but scared the heck out of me. Should i be concerned?

Hi...if the baby is comfortable you need not worry at all. Usually some babies try to regurgitate the feeds soon after feeding. This is physiological. You need to worry only if the baby's weight gain is not appropriate.
