spit up

helenkayj · August 2013

If your LO doesn't have reflux, how often do they spit up? Are they FF, EP, or EBF?

I don't know that she doesn't have reflux...

But she spits up about half of her feedings, sometimes it even comes out her nose

She's mostly BF, sometimes bottles of pumped BM. I notice her spitting up more early in the morning and later at night. This usually coincides with her eating more often/feeding longer, like when she first wakes up or when she is cluster feeding before bed.

She doesn't have reflux but about once or twice a week she will spit up. I think it's more she overworks herself or tries to put her whole hand in her mouth after feedings. She is only FF.

Snuffles is 10 weeks and has spit up maybe 5 or 6 times total, and one time was definitely our fault for overstimulating her after eating. I suspect she has silent reflux a bit, though, because sometimes you can kind of see something come up in the back of her throat but she swallows it back down. This happens maybe 2 or 3 times a week but doesn't seem to bother her.

LO is EBF, and has spit up a total of about 5-6 times in 12 weeks.

We are actually going to the doctor for potential reflux tomorrow, I didnt think it was a big deal but my day care provider (my SIL) thinks MJ has it.

he spits up after almost every feeding, sometimes just a small mouthful, sometimes an ounce or so.

he is breastfed and now takes bottles of breastmilk during the day now that I am back at work. He spits up with both.

LO spits up a lot. Especially the past day or so.

LO spits up often, but not usually a lot of volume. It's a bit unpredictable, though it tends to happen when I'm in clean clothes, on my way out somewhere (like work) and don't have a burp cloth handy. You'd think I'd learn my lesson.

Us too. And each time she had nearly fallen asleep on the boob so I think it was her unconsciously taking in too much.

From my understanding of reflux- it's really common in young infants and also not really anything to be concerned about unless it appears to be bothering the baby, and they generally outgrow it on their own, right?

LO doesn't have reflux and he has spit up maybe 3 or 4 times total, usually from jostling him after he eats. He's FF. His older brother had reflux and spit up at least daily.

DD is 12 weeks today & has only recently started spitting up. She is EFF. For the last 2 weeks, though, she has had a cold, with a lot of drainage. It does seem to be getting better & she hasn't been spitting up as often. I have been trying to make sure she burps after each feeding & limiting activity right after. If we are out somewhere, I will put a bib on her to limit the spit up she gets on her clothes.

DD is FF and spits up regularly. She's not bothered by it and the Dr says it's normal. Burp cloths are my friend.

LO can go a week without spitting up at all and then have a day like yesterday where she spit up several times with it even coming out her nose.

T is BF and normally spits up a bit after most feelings. I'm assuming it's not reflux because my Dr. Said he was fine as long as he didn't seem upset along with it.

Same here. My LO didn't spit up at all the first month or so. And now he does it pretty frequently. I would say about once every feeding but just a bit. Usually while straining himself or playing. He is never upset or uncomfortable though so we don't worry. His doc is of the mentality that "babies spit up sometimes." He said he may have some reflex issues but doesn't seem to have GERD because he isn't uncomfortable. He is BF btw.

No reflux here. EBF, and in 14 weeks he has spit up maybe 10 times

surpriseaddition · August 2013

LO is EBF and has spit up 2-3 times in her 14 weeks. No reflux that I know of.

Tommy has been having issues spitting up lately. He used to never spit up. Now its a lot! He is breastfed mostly and given a bottle about once a day. Out of the blue it just started happening constantly!
