1 month old spitting up

brandylin09

Hello all, my 1 month old started spitting up recently, sometimes it occurs right after i nurse her and other times it can be half hour to an hour or so later. She gets the hicups right before or after spitting up. She isnt fussy at all when nursing, hicuping or spitting up. i am not sure if I should call the doctor or wait for her well visit.

All babies spit up as a result of their digestive muscles not being fully developed. As long as she isn't bothered by it, I'd say you have a "happy spitter" and it's nothing to worry about. If she starts getting fussy or you notice feeding problems or poor weight gain, then you have something to talk about with your doctor. Sounds like she's just being a normal baby!
