spit up issues

Kim&JimKim&Jim member

We follow the eat/activity/sleep plan.  After they eat, I have them sit in their high chairs and we sing and/or read books and then I burp them.  They sit for about 30 minutes or so after eating before I let them play.  After they eat, I put them in their play yard and it is spit up city!  I have tried lowering the amount of food they consume.  That has helped a little bit, but we're still having issues.

Any suggestions???

I should note that I have been doing solids and their bottles together in this fashion:

breakfast:  7 oz formula; 3 Tbsp cereal with 2 oz formula

lunch:  8 oz formula

dinner:  2 Tbsp veggies with 6 oz formula

They don't refuse either so I don't know if I want to cut back anymore.

Thanks!!

    I'm sorry I don't have any specific advice but wanted to share this website with you:

    Mine twins are a little older than yours and still spit up a little bit.

    My girls are 11 months old and also spit up tons.  It seems to come and go, and I haven't really figured out a pattern to it.  They're on Zantac, which seems to help most of the time.  I keep hoping that they'll grow out of it.  The ladies at daycare even made them special little smocks - pillowcases with holes cut out!  It doesn't seem to bother them at all - they're happy as can be.  Friends who have kids who did the same thing tell me they seem to grow out of it once they start to eat table food (not just solids...)  I'm still waiting, though...My girls don't have any teeth yet either...

    Hi, I'm not necessarily a member of this blog, just pregnant with a singleton we're assuming, but I read it faithfully...just a feeling. :)

     With our first, she projectile vomitted from the time she was in the hospital at birth to past her first birthday.  They put her on reglan because she basically had baby acid reflux.  When I started giving her whole milk instead of the formula, it cleared up and stopped almost immediately.  Good luck.  We used to keep a laundry basket in the living room and by the end of the evening, it would be full of spit rags.  I did a load of spit rags every night just so we would have enough for the next day.  I do understand...hang in there.  Solid food didn't make a difference for us, but milk did.

    No real advice, but wanted to say my boys still spit up occassionally at 9 months, but my 3.5 year old spit up until about a year!  Some babies just do I think.  However, have you tried breaking up the bottle/cereal - so, give bottle at 7am (or whatever), then give cereal at 8:30, then another bottle at 10 or so?

    our schedule:

    5:30isham - bottle

    8:00-8:30 - cereal and fruit

    9:30 - bottle

    12pm - yogurt

    1pm - bottle

    4pm - bottle

    5:30 - veggies

    7pm - bottle

    This was going to be my suggestion! I think they are getting way too much in one sitting. You need to feed smaller amounts more often - more work, but way less spit up!!?
