"Happy spitter"

in January 2016 Moms
So my LO was diagnosed with reflux, but has never been on any meds and has always been a consistent weight gainer. She just spits up like crazy, still at 7 1/2 months. Anyone else's LO still spitting up? The pedi isn't worried bc it's not projectile and she has never seemed uncomfortable from it, hense the "Happy spitter." However, I am sooooo over being covered in spit up! The pedi said 6 months it would get better, then at 6 mo appt said sometimes it takes a little longer and to call if she is uncomfortable. I'm just wondering if anyone else is/has dealt with this and when it got better for you.

    My daughter still does, and is 6 days shy of 8 months. We just keep a bib on her all the time. It's lessened a little now that she pulls herself up on things and has started to cruise. Yesterday, we were playing patty-cake and she was on her back. She laughed so hard that she threw up all over.
    When I notice she's having a really refluxy day, I'll give her some gripe water and it calms right down. (Lip smacking, and moving mouth like there's a bad taste. Painful-sounding hiccups.)

    Mine still spits up pretty badly if I have any dairy (he's ebf + solids).  He's just over 7 months.  I really miss ice cream.

    Still spitting up all the time here too. 7.5 months old. Oh the joys of a "happy spitter".

    Well at least I'm not alone... lol @stephanienjer we keep a bib on her all the time too, and change it about 100 times a day when it gets saturated! @nackie I cut out dairy for about 2 months now and don't see any real difference. I may have to indulge, I miss it too.

    My little guy just turn eight months and its just now getting better, I say we can't talk about how long it's been or he spits up, haha. Its super defeating at times but hang in there!

    My son used to be horrid with spitting up. We constantly were cleaninghim up. And the floor around him. We had a diaper bag for extra clothes for us in the car everywhere we went. Then suddenly at 7.5 months it stopped one day. He spits up a little bit here and there. Maybe 1 Tbl once a day. I thought I'd be sending him to college still spewing like a garden hose after every bottle.

    My first was like that and he stopped around 10 months. Once he got good at pulling up we saw a huge improvement. I also thought it would never end!

    @sarahlanphier this makes sense. I do notice a lot more spit up when she is sitting up now. The pedi did say that now she is more mobile it will look/be worse bc she can get more out. I just can't wait for the day it ends!!!

    We are on the same boat. 8+ months and it's gotten a little better w the introduction of solid foods but I just keep extra bibs around and lots of clothing changes handy for all involved. Oh the laundry!!!
