what is normal?

[taramomof3]

my 2 week old seems to be doing great when nursing however he keeps getting sick and i mean alot hes putting out good amounts of wet diapers and bms that are good mustard color but it seems like he is hardly keeping anything in. also he only nurses for 10 mins on one side and that satisfies him for 2 to 3 hours i dont know if this is normal and then theres me i am having trouble getting him to take the breast in any other position other then cradle and in my attempts i have gotten very swollen sore nipples i have been using lanolin after every feed but they really hurt. when i am nursing i dont have that much discomfort other then the initial latch. at this point any advice would help
thank you

What do you mean by getting sick?

[taramomof3]

he is throwing up almost pure breast milk every now and again its spit up but the amounts are pretty good size usally and there not promted by a burp or anything it makes me very nervous so i keep him sitting up almost always

Tell me about his weights

[taramomof3]

he has only been to the doctor once he was 7lbs 15oz at birth 7lbs 5oz when we left the hospital (four days later) 7lbs 8oz 3 days after that and in my mommy opinion he is putting on weight

Well, if he is gaining well which I would certainly conclude based on what you have told me then 10 minutes probably gives him everything he needs. Lots of milk in the breast oftentimes means that it comes out FAST! I want you to try lying down to feed during the day time and see how that works. Position him under the breast so he has to tilt back to come on.
