Health Tip: When Baby Spits Up Excessively
By LadyLively on December 30, 2013
Some babies spit up frequently, but there are things parents can do to help prevent the problem.
The American Academy of Pediatrics offers these suggestions:
- Feed smaller amounts more frequently, rather than fewer larger feedings.
- Take frequent “burp breaks” during feedings, and burp baby after a feeding.
- Avoid tummy time immediately after a feeding; keep baby upright for 30 minutes after eating.
- Discuss alternative formulas with your pediatrician if baby shows signs of formula intolerance.
- Talk to the pediatrician about mixing a small amount of cereal with baby’s formula to help prevent reflux.
