POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. It’s quite common for a 12-week-old baby to spit up frequently, especially if they are gaining weight well and otherwise healthy. Spitting up happens because their digestive system is still developing, and the muscle that keeps food down (the lower esophageal sphincter) is weak. If your baby is happy, feeding well, and growing steadily, this usually isn’t a concern. Changing clothes more than three times a day due to spit-up can be tiring, so you might try feeding smaller amounts more often, keeping your baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding, and using burping breaks during feeds to reduce spit-up. If the spit-up becomes forceful, green, or blood-stained, or if your baby seems uncomfortable or isn’t gaining weight, consult your pediatrician.
