LO was still spitting up regularly until months 7 or 8, with a significant reduction after that. By 1 year she was completely done with spitting up and had been weaned off Zantac. </p> <p>Her spitting didn't seem to be affected at all by solids introduction (other than getting more colorful!), which we started once a day around 6 months. We always did solids between bottle/nursing feeds, as it was difficult for LO to get the hang of it and she did much better when she wasn't starving. I agree with introducing one food at a time to check for tolerance, we never introduced more than one food in a three day period out of an abundance of caution since food allergies and intolerances run heavily in my family. </p> <p>Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spit-up-feeding-solids-questions#post-2467965 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 14:18:16 +0000 MrsF 2467965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of my kids still spit up a ton after six months. It's SO frustrating but pretty normal. As long as he's not in pain I don't think there's much to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spit-up-feeding-solids-questions#post-2467953 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 14:10:38 +0000 winniebee 2467953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DS2 was a torrential spitter upper. All day every day. It finally got a little better around 7 months when he started ingesting more solids (not puree). Really slowed by 8 months and we weaned him off zantac. And then was down to maybe once a day by 9 months. By 10 months spit up was really rare. </p> <p>Good luck! It was awful, but it does get better, usually by 9 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spit-up-feeding-solids-questions#post-2467947 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 14:08:10 +0000 MrsBrewer 2467947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO spit up a ton! pretty soon after we started solids though, like probably a month or so after she stopped spitting up so much. She's almost 9 months now and rarely ever spits up, occasionally she will have a bit of a "juicy burp" and a little will come up, but not much more than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spit-up-feeding-solids-questions#post-2467935 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 13:57:25 +0000 Astro Bee 2467935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forgot to answer the second part:</p> <p>His doc recommended feeding once a day to start, in the morning so you could see if he had an allergic reaction. Food shouldn't replace milk or formula at this point, so wait at least half an hour after a feeding to offer solids. He should fill up on milk/formula first. You can gradually increase it to two and then three meals, plus snacks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spit-up-feeding-solids-questions#post-2467929 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 13:53:44 +0000 Astro Bee 2467929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend's son is 6 months and spits up a lot, especially after naps. They started him on solids at 4 months, with cereals and purées. They just accepted that he would spit up a lot, but also try to remember that it looks like a lot more than it actually is. My son wasn't a big spitter upper, and seemed mostly done by 4-5 months, and we started solids at 6 months, so my only experience with this is my friend's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spit-up-feeding-solids-questions#post-2467917 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 13:40:24 +0000 paigeface 2467917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all!</p> <p>LO will be 6 months in a week and has always had a reflux issue. He still spits up quite a few times a day even though we burp really good and feed him upright. Basically, he changes outfits 3 times a day and so do I! :meh: Do they eventually out grow this? I thought by 6 months he might but seems like it's still going on. Also, how do you incorporate foods for the first time? Do you feed it before or after formula? How much and how many times a day in the beginning? It's all so new! </p> <p>Thank you! </p>
