Why Does My Baby Spit Up? Simple Tips for New Parents

  Hello, this is EXCITING!

 Does Your Baby Spit Up After Feeding? Don’t Worry Too Much!

“Why does my baby keep spitting up? Is this normal?”
It’s a question many parents have asked at some point. Watching your little one spit up after feeding can be alarming, and it’s natural to worry if something might be wrong. But did you know that this is actually quite common among newborns?

Instead of stressing, let’s focus on understanding why it happens and how you can manage it. After all, parenting is full of small challenges like this, and knowing the reasons can make all the difference.

Why Do Newborns Spit Up?

• Immature Digestive System: Newborns have small stomachs and underdeveloped digestive systems.
• Overfeeding: Feeding too much milk at once can overwhelm their tiny stomachs.
• Gastroesophageal Reflux (GER): The muscle that keeps stomach contents from coming back up may still be weak, causing reflux.
• Air Bubbles: Swallowed air during feeding can lead to spitting up.

What Can You Do?

1. Burp Your Baby Regularly
   Helping your baby release trapped air after each feeding can reduce spit-ups.
2. Smaller, More Frequent Feedings
   Avoid overfeeding by offering smaller amounts more often.
3. Keep Your Baby Upright After Feeding
   Hold your baby upright for 20-30 minutes to help prevent reflux.
4. Adjust Their Sleep Position
   Elevating your baby’s head slightly during sleep can improve comfort and breathing.

When to Consult a Doctor

If your baby shows any of the following signs, it’s best to seek medical advice:

• Spitting up large amounts frequently throughout the day
• Forceful or projectile vomiting
• Spit-up that contains blood or bile
• Weight loss or poor weight gain
• Accompanying symptoms like irritability, vomiting, or difficulty breathing
