Health Tip: Help Prevent Baby’s Spit-Up
By LadyLively on March 24, 2015
It’s common for babies to spit up after eating, since their small digestive tracts may struggle to keep down an entire meal.
The Mayo Clinic suggests these tips:
- Hold baby in an upright position for feedings, and keep the infant upright for 30 minutes after eating. Hold off on playtime, including baby swings.
- Feed smaller amounts more frequently, avoiding large feedings.
- Take regular burp breaks from feeding to help get air out of the belly.
- Even if baby spits up, always put the infant to bed on the back rather than the belly to help prevent SIDS.
- If you are nursing, make some changes to your diet to see if it helps baby’s problem.
