Spitting up

I know that spitting up in babies is normal but my LO spits up so much, like SO MUCH. He still has a good amount of wet and poopy diapers so I'm not worried but I'm wondering if how much he spits up is normal. He spits up after every feeding at least 3 or 4 times and it's quite a bit. What do you ladies think? Maybe reflux?

    This normally means they're being overfed, from what my pedi told me. She recommended shooting for 1 oz per hour that she has not eaten (so 4oz every 4 hours, for ex.) For my 3 week old.

    Make sure baby doesn't lay down flat until you get a burp! This has drastically reduced spit up for us!

    Not sure if you are breast or bottle feeding, but is it possible LO is getting too much too fast? Agree with PP on keeping baby upright.

    @shantyrae does your LO actually take that much??

    My 3 week old is also spitting up quite a bit. Not as much as the original poster but enough to cause concern. She is eating a lot already so I thought we were over feeding her but now I take burp breaks in between feeding her a 4 ounce bottle and the spitting has significantly decreased. Try burping every ounce of so like @shantyrae said.

    I have the same issue but he's bf so I have no idea how many ounces he's getting per feeding as the pp suggests. I try to just burp him before I put him down but sometimes he doesn't burp.

    I'm breast feeding as well but I scheduled him a doctors appointment for tomorrow because I'm just worried about the amount he spits up. He spits up to the point where he's screaming because he's hungry 5 min later

    What time is your appt? How long has he been spitting up? Google pyloric stenosis. If the doctor doesn't order an ultrasound you should request one.
