POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. If your 4-month-old and 10-month-old are spitting up or bringing food back up after eating, it’s not uncommon, but the context and frequency matter:
1. **4-Month-Old**: At this age, some spitting up is normal as the digestive system is still maturing. Frequent spitting up could be due to:
- Overfeeding or fast feeding
- Gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)
2. **10-Month-Old**: If your 10-month-old is bringing food back up, it might be due to:
- Eating too quickly or too much
- Difficulty in managing textures or types of food
- Teething or digestive issues
**What to Do**:
- **Feeding Practices**: Ensure that both babies are eating slowly and are not overfed. For solids, make sure the food is well-cooked and appropriate for their age.
- **Burping**: Make sure they are burped properly after feedings to help with digestion.
- **Positioning**: Keep them upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding to aid digestion.
- **Monitor Symptoms**: Observe if there are other symptoms such as discomfort, weight loss, or frequent occurrences.
If the spitting up is frequent, seems excessive, or is accompanied by other symptoms like distress or poor weight gain, consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues and get personalized advice.
