So I think my son has acid reflex because he will spit up 3 times in 1 feeding and its noy the…

Spitting up reflex lasts until they are 6 months old. It's constant. Sometimes it's very liquidy which means it's fresh milk plus mucus or sometimes it's thick and digested.If he spits up but isn't bothered, like he's not wailing or seeming to be VERY upset then it's normal spitting up and you're just gonna have to stock up on burp rags and carry them NONSTOP EVERYWHERE. If during or after spitting up he is wailing and seeming in pain that means it is reflux and burns which causes discomfort and pain because the esophagus becomes inflamed from the stomach acid, then your next step is to see a pedi and get a prescription for the baby version of zantac that you give by syringe. When I had Athena I didn't know what the hell to do and panicked. Went straight to pedi and she gave us zantac, but after observing Athena and reading books on babies and looking online I realized she wasn't in pain and it was very normal. We just stocked up on diaper rags (cloth used for cloth diapers is super absorbent) and by 6 months it was over. Cassie is the same way, no pain just normal spit up. Also if he is ebf don't worry about overfeeding, you CANNOT overfeed a bf babies. Some babies are more efficient eaters, they eat a full solid meal and are good for awhile but with being picked up may spit up digested milk or they had some leftover milk that didn't process through all the way and they spit it back up. Other babies snack all day every day and will spit up fresh milk if rattled right after eating. All of these things are very normal.

@kianna_ I do the same I burp after every ounce. @vvrobinson and okay sometimes I freak out I have to sit him up and put him forward real quick. And sometimes will cry bc it's coming out his nose and its all congested when he breaths I try to suck it out but just comes back.

@kianna_ yes I give him that

@vvrobinson it scares me all the time bc he'll choke on it I try to keep him off his back for atleast 15-20 after feeding

@jenny955 try feeding him at an angle. Some babies do best fed that way. Buy a wedge pillow or boppy, Walmart sells wedge pillows for $20. Use it to tilt him up a bit when feeding and let him digest a bit before laying him down. It might help the spitting up so hard and fast. And are you bf or formula feeding? I know that if my boobs are too full they come out full blast causing my girls to choke and start spitting up

@vvrobinson formula fed, and I prop him up his head higher than his belly. Its hard to keep him still for 15-20 mins He's a big wiggler lol

@jenny955 I can assist very little on formula feeding I'm afraid.

I formula feed and that was a concern of mine the pediatrician said it's normal..she still does it very often that same way and sometimes had a hard time burping when I burp her for like a solid 10-20 minutes and in between oz's.. her pooping is just now picking up as well and Dr said as long as her diapers are wet and does it in a couple of days she will be fine it's normal
