POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy12 months agoA. It's common for newborns to spit up milk or have small amounts of reflux. Here’s a general guideline:
- **Frequency**: Spitting up can happen after almost every feeding, especially in the early weeks. It’s typically more frequent in newborns, but should decrease as they grow.
- **Amount**: The amount can vary from a small drool to a larger amount, but it should generally be less than what was consumed.
- **Normal Spit-Up**: Spitting up a small amount after feeding is usually normal and not a cause for concern. It’s often due to the immature digestive system of the baby.
**When to Consult a Pediatrician**:
- If the spit-up is forceful, frequent, or accompanied by other symptoms like weight loss, poor feeding, or signs of discomfort.
- If the spit-up is green, yellow, or has blood in it.
If you’re concerned or if your baby seems unusually uncomfortable, it’s always a good idea to check with your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
