POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month4 months agoA. Yes, spitting up milk after feeding is completely normal in a 2-month-old baby. This is very common in young infants and is usually nothing to worry about unless it's frequent and causing discomfort or poor weight gain.
✅ Why Spitting Up Happens: Immature digestive system – The valve (lower esophageal sphincter) that keeps food in the stomach isn’t fully developed yet. Swallowing air while feeding – This can lead to spitting up when burped. Overfeeding – A full tummy can easily overflow. Positioning – Lying flat right after feeding can make spit-up more likely. 👶 Tips to Reduce Spit-Up: Burp her often during and after feeding (every 5–10 minutes or after each breast). Hold her upright for 20–30 minutes after feeding. Feed in a calm environment to reduce air swallowing. Don’t overfeed – Learn her hunger cues and stop when she’s full. Keep head slightly elevated when feeding and during rest (but not with pillows in the crib). ⚠️ When to Be Concerned:
Call your pediatrician if you notice:
Forceful/projectile vomiting Green or yellow vomit Poor weight gain or weight loss Baby is very fussy, irritable, or in pain after feeds Signs of dehydration (few wet diapers, dry mouth) Bloody spit-up Reassurance:
Most babies outgrow spitting up by 6–12 months, as their digestive system matures and they spend more time upright.
Let me know how often it happens or if you’d like to share your feeding routine—I can help you fine-tune it.
