Shreyasi ChakravartyMom of a 3 m old girl22 hours agoA. Common Reasons for Spitting Up
* Immature Digestive System: The muscle between the esophagus and stomach (lower esophageal sphincter) is still developing and relaxes too easily.
* Overfeeding: Consuming more milk than the stomach can comfortably hold.
* Swallowing Air: Taking in too much air during fast feeding, crying, or from an improper latch/nipple size.
* Reflux (GERD): Mild, painless acid reflux is very common in healthy infants ("happy spitters").
How to Prevent and Minimize Spitting Up
* Burp Frequently: Pause to burp your baby halfway through a feeding and again at the end.
* Keep Them Upright: Hold your baby in an upright position for 20 to 30 minutes after feeding.
* Feed Smaller Amounts: Offer smaller, more frequent meals if you suspect overfeeding.
* Avoid Vigorous Play: Keep tummy time and active play for later, well after feeding.
> Note: Consult your pediatrician immediately if your baby's spit-up is forceful (projectile), green/yellow in color, contains blood, or if your baby is not gaining weight normally.
