six months...got really bad at 4 months.

I've just this week noticed it occuring less and less. Not totally stopped yet, but much less.

DS was a super "happy spitter" as they say (terrible reflux, but it was not painful for DS and he was still gaining weight fine, so no meds/interventions other than a few teaspoons of rice cereal in his bottles). It got a lot better when he started crawling (9ish months) but he still spits up a few times a week, even now. (And holy God it smells awful once they really start eating solids!)

It hasn't stopped completely...but it got MUCH better around 6 months.

Unfortunately it hasn't yet and DS is 7 months. According to Baby 411, of babies age 4-5 months, 67% spit up, babies age 6-7 months 21% still spit up, and by 12 months of age, less than 5% spit up (here's looking to the future!)

When I started making his bottles more like runny oatmeal than milk. He gets a ton of rice cereal in every bottle, but if it's not there he pukes the whole bottle the minute he starts moving around.

He still spits up a bit here and there, but usually it's because he's been bouncing around a lot or not feeling well to begin with.

This for us.

DD stopped at around 6 1/2 months, right when she started sitting up unsupported. She rarely spits up anymore. Only when she gets overfed or if she is bouncing around shortly after eating.

I was sooooooo glad when she stopped spitting up because DD had a pretty bad case of reflux that did require meds. She was pretty unhappy, esp. the first 3 months and I was one very stressed out mama!

My baby is still a spitter. A happy spitter, but still.

I actually think it has gotten worse because he moves so much now. We used to be able to hold him upright for a while after he ate and now he runs away as soon as his meal is finished.

DD has reflux but it has gotten so much better in the last 3 weeks, ever since she started sleeping on her tummy. She hardly ever does it now and she used to drench 10 bibs a day.I really dont keep a bib on her all the time now.

The exorcist style spitting up stopped around three months.

robynlesley · February 2010

When I started feeding solids, he spit up less and less. So around 4 months. It can still happen, but it's infrequent.

DS still spits up. I keep thinking it'll get better because he sits indpendently and is starting to crawl around, but it seems to be about the same. He takes prevacid, but I think that just keeps it from burning. It doesn't really affect the volume.

"A" suffered w/ refulx extremely bad. She still spits up every now and then. But the major spitting up didn't stop til about a month or so ago, and she will be 1 on the 26th.
