We definitely knew the the difference when he vomited. It was much more forceful and projected much further. It wasn't just out of his mouth spiddle, it was all over the floor/him/us. You'll know.

With spit up, it just kind of comes up and doesn't really bother them at all. Vomiting is much more forceful. wonderstruck on "Spit up vs. Throw up....

If you're not sure, it's most likely just spit up. Pepper on "Spit up vs. Throw up....

I would become concerned if your LO is throwing up a lot, is running a fever, or if she looks like she is in pain. jill_a55 on "Spit up vs. Throw up....

My LO is almost 8 weeks and I'm just curious about when it should be concerning!
