How much does your LO spit up?

Everytime DD spits up, I freak out. I can't help it. She spits up over and over after feedings and I worry about her. She has reflux, but I don't think the meds we have are doing anything for her.

DH has been an ass about it to me, saying it's no big deal b/c babies spit up. I seriously want to punch him in the face everytime he says this! I'm the one home with her everyday, changing her onesies five times, washing her and mself off and doing a crazy amount of laundry.

I know a certain amount of spit up is normal, but how much is too much? How much or how often does your LO spit up?

    Riley spits up a lot. Probably 75% of her feeding and large amounts. It's projectile and come out of her nose and everything. We went to the doctor on Monday and they said as long as she was gaining wait and happy there was no reason to be concerned. She almost always fusses for another bottle after she's spits up the first and will drink another ounce or two and keep it down. We are not on medicine because she does not show any other signs of reflux. The pedi said some kids just spit more than others.

    we have found that smaller feedings more often. Dr. Browns bottles helped slightly but the nipple flow can be a but fast so we stop her often to burp her (at least every ounce). We were doing Playtex drop ins with the slow flow but she was sucking so hard and taking in a ton of air, the pedi said that could contribute as well.

    Good luck, it's very stressful.

    DD doesn't spit up much. Less than half of feedings and usually I can just wipe her lips. Sometimes it's a few tablespoons at most. I have noticed it's worse after a bottle vs. the breast.
