A. It may look like a lot when it's on your shirt, but the amount of liquid your baby spits up isn't as much as you think. Usually, it's just 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time.Spitting up is common in healthy babies. During their first three months, about half of all babies experience their stomach contents coming back up into the esophagus, a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux, infant reflux or infant acid reflux.Seventy percent of infants under 3 months will spit up three times a day, and it's even perfectly normal for them to be spitting up as often as 10 or 12 times," says William Byrne, M.D., chief of pediatric gastroenterology at Doernbecher Children's Hospital, in Portland, Oregon.All babies spit up― especially after gulping down air with breastmilk or formula. When the stomach is full or a baby's position suddenly changed after a feeding, you'd better have a cloth handy. The stomach contents can force the sphincter open and flood back up the esophagus. Some babies spit up more than others.
