almost 1 year old and still spitting up?

My girls still spit up some of their bottles on occasion, even up to an hour or so after eating them.  They aren't in pain, they don't cry and they aren't sick.  They'll puke it up and move on like nothing happened.  Then they won't do it for weeks.  It's strange.  Sophia had two puking episodes this week, which came out of nowhere.

Do I need to ask the pedi about this?  Is it "normal" for babies to spit up like this, even at 11 months?  (FWIW, they have always been spitter-uppers, and it peaked at 6 months and has gradually gotten better since.)

Nathaniel did this till right before a year.  He would spit up and have no other symptoms and just keep playing or whatever he was doing.  I mentioned it to the pedi a few times and she told me as long as he didn't have any other problems that she thought it was ok.  He eventually worked his way out of it and doesn't do it anymore.  Maybe if you have an appointment soon, you could just mention it.

Thanks.  I'll mention it at their 1-year appointment.  I mention it every time and the Pedi dittos what yours said, but geez, I thought this would be over by now!

It'll probably end soon.. I can't remember the boys- I do know it was after a year, but I know for sure A was spitting up at least once a day til about 2 months ago, at 13 months... She still did every once in a while about s month ago, and now not at all.. She was a pretty frequent spitter, a happy spitter, but damn frequent I'm almost sure one day you will just noticed it hasn't happened in a long time BTW.. I love the new siggy! SO cute!!

DS1 still spit up off and on until about 2.  It's not really normal, and we were watching it with our pedi.  If it hadn't stopped when it did, we were going to see a specialist. 

I wouldn't really worry at this point, but I would make sure your pedi is aware of it.

DS was a spitter upper for a LONG time.  I cant remember when it stopped completely but I know it was MUCH later than I thought it would be.  As long as it isnt bothering them and they arent vomiting (there is a big difference), I would just give it a little more time for them to grow out of it.

I totally could have written this exact post word for word! We were at our gymboree class the other day and Joey spit up on the parachute and I was so embarassed. I told DH that we have the only 1 year olds that still spit up! The teacher was super nice about it, but I felt like I had to explain to everyone that he wasn't sick, that's just what he does!

I asked the pedi about it at their 1 year check up and she didn't seem worried. She did say to watch and see if there were any specific foods that triggered it more than others. 

Glad I'm not the only one still dealing with spitters!
