BFers- spitting up?

ReeseMReeseM member
in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

DD has never spit up til the last couple days. Sometimes it is after she hasn't eaten too awfully long. Today for example, she nursed on one side for about 20 minutes, and then was zonked out on my chest. After a few minutes, she woke up and spit up a good bit.

Anyhow, do you assume once they spit up that they have eaten enough? I didnt even offer her the other side after that. And the side she had eaten on was my lazier side too.

    it helps to burp baby, every 15 minutes or when switching breasts. If your baby is dozing gently unlatch and burp baby. If he wants to be latched back on feel free. I found most moms get it to work best putting baby up on their shoulder and patting firmly yet gentle with your whole hand. Most babies stop needing to be burped at about 6-8 months.

     And know that spitting up is normal, unless baby seems like spitting up is really painful it is just a laundry problem.

    DS spat up a lot at first. Its fine :) sometimes he'd spit up but still root around, so I let him nurse more. Especially around growth spurts, I think they just need to expand their stomachs a bit and sometimes they eat really fast and gulp it down and if they get any air bubbles they'll spit it up. It always looks like a lot more than it is. If it happens a lot just burp LO between sides.

    DS spits up from time to time. There are days where he doesn't at all and days that it seems he spits up every time I burp him.

    Sometimes he was content after nursing from just one side, other times he starts to root around. Him spitting up really had nothing to do with if he was still hungry or not (at least for DS there is no real pattern)

    I know with my son if I don't burp him when he's done or even sometime in the middle he will spit up. I don't think spitting up is a sign of being full it might not have digested or be sitting well in the stomach. I have heard that breast feed babies will never eat too much. I'm not sure how true that is.
