Spit up?
« on: August 17, 2005, 19:54:57 pm »
Caeden has just started spitting up more after feeding. Anywhere to immediately after sitting up and burping to 20-30 minutes later. I have been trying to keep him more upright for 20-30 minutes after eating but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Is this normal? He is almost 10 weeks old and EBF.
Thanks
Jen

Both my girls have been champion spitters (both volume and distance  :roll:  ).  If he's otherwise happy, don't worry about it, but if he seems uncomfortable you might talk to your doctor about reflux.  I've been told it goes away around 6 months, and that was the case with Katie, but Rachel is still spitting (though not nearly as much) at 9 months.

A lot of babies spit up - he might just be eating a bit too fast! Do you burp him half way through the feed too? As long as his weight gain is good and he doesn't seem too upset by it, I wouldn't worry, but you might want to check the reflux board to see if anything fits for him.

If this is a recent "milestone"  :lol:  I would wager to say that it is him starting to wiggle and move a little more. (Instead of just laying or sitting there) My only other guess is that you have recently changed your diet in some way or are eating an overabundance of something? My lo spits up when I eat dairy.
