Help - Vomitting

Can we have a couple of extra pieces of information before we can give some ideas?

How old is your LO?
How many feeds a day is he getting?
How long is he going between feeds?
Are you following an EASY sort of day?
What does the vomit 'look' like - is it milk coming back or has it 'changed'
Is the vomitting bothering him - some babies are as some people might describe as 'happy chuckers'
Just ot give us an idea of what his day is like really and perhaps we can make some suggestions.

I do remember my Breastfeeding class saying that you can't overfeed a breastfed baby - it will come back up again.

Hi, my bb is 5 weeks on Thursday & we are on EASY, he feeds roughly at 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm & 7pm. he sometimes has a feed at 10pm, but if he is fast asleep, I let him wake up, which is usually between 1230am &  1am then he has another feed between 4 & 5am.  He feeds vigorously for about 5 to 10mins, then I burp him and then feeds for another 5mins. I sometimes try and keep giving him more food, which he will suckle for a bit and then pull off.  He also tends to feed longer at the 7pm feed.  His vomit is milk coming back up & sometimes it is curdled. The vomit does not bother him at all, but I just wanted to make sure he is getting enough food.
I hope I've given you enough to go on.

Thanks

Millie :)
