Reflux Moms a Question

Do you notice an acidic smell in LO's spit up?  I'm starting to think DD may have a slight case of reflux.  What other symptoms did you notice?

DD threw up the other night everything I fed her but didn't cry and it wasn't projectile.  It looked like someone just turned on a faucet and it all came pouring out of her (mouth and nose).  She had a similar but more tame episode again last night. The only thing I can think of that would have set her off both times was her gag reflex.  After she was done feeding both times she was either given a finger or a pacifier to suck on.  This morning she was fussy after eating even though she burped and then spit up and felt better but I noticed the spit up was really acidic smelling.

    Yes, there is a definite smell to DDs spit up. It also gets in under her neck sometimes and I have to scrub under there really good. We are doing Zantac and mixing with gas drops so she takes it better.  Good luck, I know how disturbing it is when they get choked and especially when it comes out the nose!!

    I just stopped the Zantac b/c I felt like it wasn't really helping her-- we have a pedi appt on Monday-

    I wouldn't say it smells acidic-- it smells like soured milk- and we've had the faucet problem recently too- it seems to happen when she gets a bubble and keeps eating :)

    good question!! i was wondering this last night.... for the past two days DD has been spitting up and crying but i wasnt sure if it was because she didnt get in any good naps but i thought i smelled the acidic smell to her spit up.  But also wasnt sure since she is on soy formula and it smells gross anyways!
