She said it's normal as long as he didn't have a fever, wasn't overly fussy and didn't projectile vomit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-spit-up-is-normal-1#post-421740 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:26:31 +0000 Weagle 421740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she's a happy spitter it's unlikely that there's something wrong. Most babies spit up a lot... it's just what they do :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-spit-up-is-normal-1#post-421710 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:15:05 +0000 travelgirl1 421710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: she did a lot of cluster feeding this morning so maybe she was too full? But she hadn't wanted to eat through the night as she was too sleepy.</p> <p>I wish newborns came with a book! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-spit-up-is-normal-1#post-421705 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 13:12:02 +0000 mamimami 421705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my kids have been very spitty! But great weight gain. Most kids on meds for reflux don't have reflux so be careful about assuming that.... </p> <p>My pedi has told me that just like adults, babies need 15 minutes to realize they're full. So she wants me to take a lot of breaks during each nursing session to give the baby time to process that feeling of fullness. Easie said than done! Mostly I do a lot of laundry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-spit-up-is-normal-1#post-421691 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:58:43 +0000 travelgirl1 421691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks girls. @mediagirl: it seemed like loads but you're prob right in that it was prob about an ounce. Poor baby girl, it seemed like so much for such a little mouth and tummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-spit-up-is-normal-1#post-421647 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:40:52 +0000 mediagirl 421647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find M's spit up would become more curdled the longer it has been after a feeding. Immediate spit up would be liquid and then it would get grosser as time went on. It seems like a lot but I bet she's spitting up less than an ounce. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-spit-up-is-normal-1#post-421615 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:29:14 +0000 MamaMoose 421615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as its not becoming a regular thing I wouldn't worry about it too much. I just adjusted our system a little bit so that I burp LO every five minutes during a feed and then keep her upright for at least 20-30 minutes after to try to help reduce spit up issues. I'll let you know if it helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-spit-up-is-normal-1#post-421589 Thu, 29 Nov 2012 12:22:57 +0000 travelgirl1 421589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Poor little A just burped loudly three tines in a row then brought up pretty much all this morning's milk. She does tend to spit up a bit but not like that.... It was just white but quite curdled. Should I be worried? It didn't upset her, she just looked a bit puzzled. </p>
