I hated it, but he was a happy spitter, thank goodness... </p> <p>For us it decreased around 6 months when we started solids, then decreased more when we switched from purees to table food around 10 months. It was very gradual and I honestly didn't notice it until I was doing a little organizing and realized I haven't grabbed any or washed burp cloths in awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2732251 Thu, 04 May 2017 09:50:46 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2732251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10-11 months is when it stopped for my daughter. She was on reflux meds for the first few months, and then a happy spitter after that, but it was enough that we didn't leave the house without bibs until close to her 1st birthday. Solids definitely help, but most of it is just their systems maturing. I've totally been there and I totally get it. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731732 Wed, 03 May 2017 10:21:32 +0000 sauerkraut 2731732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a big spitter-uper too. Stopped around 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731693 Wed, 03 May 2017 09:29:27 +0000 rattles 2731693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 9 months for mine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731689 Wed, 03 May 2017 09:21:37 +0000 thepicklemonster 2731689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been noticing a decline over the last week or so, and he's 7 months today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731685 Wed, 03 May 2017 09:10:12 +0000 Smurfette 2731685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO1 had reflux but we stopped meds around 6/7 months. She continued to spit up multiple times a day till 10/10.5 months. LO2 has reflux as well at 4 months, spits up so much daily too. I do a lot of laundry just of bibs and burp cloths. And day care puts their bibs on her during the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731662 Wed, 03 May 2017 08:15:20 +0000 MrsADS 2731662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After a year for us as a few others have said. Maybe 14-15 months, although I would say around 12 months we saw some improvement. But my DS was NOT a happy spitter - had really bad reflux. And I think the improvement may have been related less to age, and more to the fact we finally got him on a large enough dose of Nexium. Hard to say. </p> <p>Now at 20 months he is still on Nexium and I would say has a small spit up every 1-2 weeks even now. </p> <p>Hang in there... I know it seems like forever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731655 Wed, 03 May 2017 08:05:11 +0000 MrsBrewer 2731655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It slowed down a ton for us around 7-8 months when DD was eating solids more consistently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731653 Wed, 03 May 2017 08:01:57 +0000 MamaG 2731653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months was a turning point for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731650 Wed, 03 May 2017 07:59:25 +0000 skinnycow 2731650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember exactly but I want to say it was around 7-8 months. She was a happy spitter but she spit up after every feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731639 Wed, 03 May 2017 07:47:56 +0000 kayla0416 2731639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was a happy spitter, no reflux, but she spit up many many times per day every day. It finally started to gradually slow down around 6-7 months. She just turned 1 and still spits up 1-2 times/week, but that is much more manageable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731635 Wed, 03 May 2017 07:44:34 +0000 winniebee 2731635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Slightly better at 8m so weaned from Zantac. Got progressively better from there and was mostly gone save for the random event after 10 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731634 Wed, 03 May 2017 07:41:50 +0000 gilmoregirl 2731634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was 10 months for mine. Before that was a constant steam of spit up and laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731589 Tue, 02 May 2017 23:03:49 +0000 SweetiePie 2731589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Insane volumes of spit up over here too. Multiple outfits a day for him and for me. Bibs - probably went through 7-10 a day. Literally had to buy new rugs when he was done spitting once and for all.<br /> It stopped around 9 months, if I recall correctly.<br /> Hang in there, it was so frustrating at the time but looking back I barely remember it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731587 Tue, 02 May 2017 23:02:13 +0000 charlotte 2731587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to say it was around 15-16 months. Definitely after a year old. :shocked: My first never spit up a day in his life so it was definitely a learning experience for us with DD. Eek. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731582 Tue, 02 May 2017 22:43:54 +0000 macintosh 2731582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was a happy spitter, no reflux. He got most of his ounces from formula so I used the kind with added rice, which helped a little. He got much better around 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731581 Tue, 02 May 2017 22:27:40 +0000 Coffee-lover 2731581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter was on reflux meds too. I feel like it started slowing down around 12 months but didnt really mostly stop until she was 14-15 months. She is 2 next month and has still occasionally done it maybe once a month or so? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731578 Tue, 02 May 2017 22:11:34 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2731578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: oh I was always covered in barf and so was dd. I couldn't just constantly change her. She was always slightly damp with an aroma of baby puke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731571 Tue, 02 May 2017 21:48:36 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2731571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: yup. But just try to remember it's just a laundry problem and not a health problem for your lo. That helped me. Also you could get dh to do laundry or even outsource it completely! Our nanny did dd's laundry and that was awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731570 Tue, 02 May 2017 21:44:56 +0000 Goldengirl 2731570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: LOL... this is our life right now.</p> <p>@Mrs. Pajamas: We go through SO many bibs and so much laundry... that's probably the worst part of it. Sometimes (like now) I don't even put on a clean shirt because I'm just like, meh... I've become accustomed to smelling like baby barf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731569 Tue, 02 May 2017 21:43:14 +0000 Mrs. Pajamas 2731569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: I had the same Timeline as @Mrs. Champagne. Probably not what you want to hear but now it seems like a distant memory and no big deal. Dd is 2.5 yo and didn't have reflux but man I got so sick of bibs and getting barfed on. We used cloth diapers as spit up rags and now dd is really good about cleaning her hands and face after eating so maybe that's a direct result? Totally understand the frustration! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731563 Tue, 02 May 2017 21:24:56 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2731563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-9 months it slowed. Now at 10 months it happens sometimes (once every day or two as opposed to 18382 times a day). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731561 Tue, 02 May 2017 21:18:02 +0000 Goldengirl 2731561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: Ah he says usually by 18 months OMG I can't deal for that long! Haha. But seriously. I can't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731560 Tue, 02 May 2017 21:15:44 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2731560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: mine didn't have reflux and I don't think solids had any impact either because there was not much consumed. I think it was just a matter of time and physical development. </p> <p><a href="https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.drgreene.com/questions-and-answers/baby-outgrow-gastroesophageal-reflux" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.drgreene.com/questions-and-answers/baby-outgrow-gastroesophageal-reflux</a></p> <p>Although, according to this solids do help! Good hope it's over for both of you soon. Living in fear of one or both of you being soaked at every feeding is kind of not enjoyable! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731556 Tue, 02 May 2017 21:10:40 +0000 Goldengirl 2731556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Goose: Ahh this gives me hope it might happen soon! Maybe starting solids will help... solidify things? And yes, so much mess, my clothes are constantly covered.</p> <p>@Peasinapod: It's so gross, was hoping mine would have outgrown it by now! Good that yours isn't bothered by it though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731553 Tue, 02 May 2017 21:06:24 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2731553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stopped at 6.5 months for me. Then I weaned myself off of covering myself and surroundings with a big towel when I nursed, haha. I was always worried the fountain was coming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731552 Tue, 02 May 2017 21:05:39 +0000 Peasinapod 2731552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm interested to see the responses! My 15 week old is a very happy spitter. But I'm looking forward to not being covered in baby puke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-does-the-spitting-up-stop#post-2731544 Tue, 02 May 2017 20:44:36 +0000 Goldengirl 2731544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has been a huuuuuge spitter/barfer since day 1. He has reflux which definitely contributes to it but he's on medication so I'd say he's a happy spitter. He mostly doesn't even realize when it's happened. It seemed like it was improving for awhile, but the past month or so has been worse than ever. His clothes are always ruined and it gets everywhere... doesn't matter what I do, when/how I feed, just keeps happening.</p> <p>Did anyone else have a huge spitter and if so when did it end (if ever)?! LO is almost 6 months. </p>
