My 5 days old baby is throwing up the milk she drinks. What should I do?
My baby is about 5 days old and she is throwing up the milk that she consumes even after burping. Is it normal?

It depends on how much she is spitting up, what it looks like , what she looks like, and if she is gaining weight. Call your doctor. Michael L Spear, MD, MSEdl Faculty Advisor, Honor Board Professor of Pediatrics Drexel University College of Medicine
I would not worry if the baby is healthy and gaining weight.
While baby reflux is normal and happens more as the baby gets older and she feeds more. It is best to check with your pediatrician to make sure she has good weight gain, and is healthy otherwise.
It would be helpful to have a log about intake and throw-up.
