He still spit up occasionally until around his first birthday. He was a happy spitter, so he wasn't on meds; we just had a ton of laundry! Sounds like this is a common pattern.</p> <p>I did notice some improvement when he started crawling, maybe because his core was stronger? I hope this happens for your LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2472084 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 23:43:18 +0000 HLK208 2472084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charlotte: ugh, I'm sorry :( I was so worried for awhile. I knew she had to be uncomfortable. And it was so frustrating when I would head out the door and spit up would cover both of our outfits from shoulder to shoes. The furniture stains were awful too!! It would get all over her crib, her nursery rug, the baby gates, and there were always big spit up puddles all over the floor. I wish I could've made it better for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2472082 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 23:36:45 +0000 HLK208 2472082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My youngest spat up A LOT and it didn't slow down until 11-12 months. Her ped wasn't worried but I think her weight reflected how much she spat up (she wasn't even on the charts at 12 months for weight and by 15 months she was finally in the 3rd percentile). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2472053 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 22:39:08 +0000 charlotte 2472053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Oatmeal: thank you! It really is awful. So sad for her and me and our furniture and everything + I feel like it's holding her back from maximizing tummy time and practicing sitting. If I didn't hold her or give her some bouncer time her whole bottle would end on the playmat. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2472049 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 22:22:30 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2472049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charlotte: our spitting up got better shortly after raising the dose of reflux meds and eliminating all dairy- so I'm not much help! But I hope it improves soon- the constant spit up is nervewracking and awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2471929 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:53:08 +0000 SweetiePie 2471929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@charlotte: can't hurt to try! It might take a few feedings for LO to get used to it but don't get worried if she sputters a bit. Every time we switched it took a few feedings but he ended up being way happier! Also, feedings go a lot faster - bonus for you :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2471918 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:46:08 +0000 charlotte 2471918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: yep our ped did but that's an interesting point. These are slow and "natural" so maybe she is sucking too hard and an easier flow would work better. Will try! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2471914 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 19:42:48 +0000 charlotte 2471914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh dear. First of all, I forgot I made this thread and just came back to it. I spent the whole day cleaning spit ups and doing laundry :silly: (honestly!)</p> <p>Second, sounds like 8 months is the EARLIEST we could see major improvement. Hard to hear but glad to know what reality is and that the cute bandana bibs I ordered are worth it ....... Yikes. </p> <p>Thank you for the feedback and hugs to all.... never had any clue with my son that baby life could be like this (we assumed we made awesome feeding, sleep, etc choices and were parenting pros but baby two has shown me that we were just lucky!!!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2471367 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:02:34 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 2471367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another Zantac and Alimentum graduate here. I think it started improving around 9 months, much better at 10, and was entirely gone by 11. Good times!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2471364 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:01:39 +0000 petitenoisette 2471364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really remember for sure but I know by 6 months when she started daycare it wasn't really an issue anymore. I think between 4-6 months so definitely not as bad as some others on here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2471340 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:48:52 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2471340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was a happy spitter until she was almost a year old. I think we might have taken the bibs off a little after she turned 10 months, and it completely went away by 11-12 months. She was on Zantac, Prevacid and Elecare until she was 4 months old. We decided to wean her off all of it and see how she does, and honestly, being without meds and special formula didn't seem to make a difference, she spit up regardless and didn't seem very bothered by it after 4 months or so. Maybe talk to your doc to see if you can try going without the drugs? I agree with @sweetiepie about the slow flow nipples - those were actually worse for my LO so we stuck with regular ones. It did stop eventually, though it felt like it never would. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2471302 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 13:34:53 +0000 Boogs 2471302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Finally got better around 1. It was so miserable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2471151 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 11:55:39 +0000 SweetiePie 2471151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a MAJOR spitter. Also Zantac and Alimentum. I want to say it slowed down around 6 months, but was still significantly more than most babies. I would say it wasn't totally gone until 9/10 months.<br /> Also, did your ped tell you to do slow flow nipples? Mine told me NOT to do slower than he could handle because then he might be sucking harder and taking in more air - which meant more burping/spitting. Slow flow was my initial thought as well, but once she told me that we went with the appropriate speed for his age. I can't say if it helped though because we didn't do slow flow for too long. (Not a lot to compare it to).<br /> It is so annoying while in it - laundry all the time! Rug and couch covered in spit up! I always had to carry spare clothes for myself, changed my outfit no less than 3 times a day. But now at 17 months I can barely remember it. It really does become a distant memory. xoxo </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2471097 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 11:30:31 +0000 Smurfette 2471097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: oh wow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2471014 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 10:51:31 +0000 LAZB 2471014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 9 months it got WAY better. Before that we changed clothes a few times a day, and all of a sudden a switch flipped, and it was vastly improved. She'll still spit up some at 12 months, but hardly anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470906 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 10:04:14 +0000 SeptMomma12 2470906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter was AWFUL. At one point, we were averaging 12 bibs and 2-3 outfit changes at day care. It was just constant. I'd say it improved drastically around 7-8 months and now at 9 months it's about once or twice a day. I really didn't think it would ever get better but it did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470871 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 09:48:32 +0000 Rocker2014 2470871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO, who had reflux, still spit regularly until about 7-8 months. We weaned off Zantac around 9 mos, and she was pretty much done with spitting up around then, and completely done by 1 year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470870 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 09:48:12 +0000 babynumber1 2470870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It didn't get better until after she was a year old. It went on forever! Sorry I dont' have better news. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470779 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 09:03:51 +0000 mediagirl 2470779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say it was when she was on more solids than liquids. My daughter's poor daycare teachers had to bring extra clothes with them because she was constantly soaking them. :( Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470776 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 09:01:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 2470776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until 12-13 months, but we were a very extreme case. My daughter was on reflux meds until she was 2 1/2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470759 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 08:45:47 +0000 meredithNYC 2470759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not until 8-9 months, unfortunately. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470751 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 08:35:09 +0000 MrsADS 2470751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following... my son will be 6 months tomorrow, very bad reflux and severe mspi (+ other foods). He's on Nexium + Zantac, I BF but I'm on a pretty strict elimination diet (we failed Alimentum, have Elecare as our backup if we need formula). Cannot wait for the constant spitting up to end!!</p> <p>Anyone else's baby also vomit up curdled chunks of milk in addition to the milk spit up? Looks like feta cheese in vinegar! (disclaimer - his GI knows about it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470743 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 08:17:58 +0000 Smurfette 2470743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We stopped meds for reflux around 6 months. She spit up multiple times a day till 10/10.5 months. I think 11 months she finally wasn't wearing a bib all day long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470742 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 08:15:13 +0000 cam 2470742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS had reflux too. I think the spit up got better when he could sit by himself so around 7 months. He was off reflux meds before a year. I hope it gets better for you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470690 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 06:37:37 +0000 BananaPancakes 2470690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A year. He was on Alimentum with rice cereal to thicken, but now I'm sure he should have been on meds. He's on meds now at almost 4 because the reflux stayed, he just learned to swallow it instead of spit it up. This is an ongoing issue for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470682 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 06:14:52 +0000 winniebee 2470682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R spit up all day every day multiple times after every feeding. By 7m it got the tiniest bit better but no real improvement until 8 months. At 9 months he spit up just a few times a day. 10 months maybe every few days - it was rare. Part of our problem was overeating. I know there was a mechanical component to it, but once I saw how voraciously he ate solids it made some sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470675 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 04:48:47 +0000 Ree723 2470675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD1 was a happy spitter, no reflux or food intolerances, just a happy spitter and a prolific one at that! It ebbed off around 9-10 months but still occurred occasionally until around a year. I thought it was never going to stop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-baby-spit-up-a-lotwhen-did-it-end#post-2470671 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 04:12:33 +0000 arosebyany 2470671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could have wrote this post myself, except DS is two months, so I'm super interested in the answers.
