My husband and I overthought and overanalyzed our baby’s spit up for months! Does he have acid reflux? Are we over feeding him? We had constant worry, google searches and even AI chats. Turns out, he’s just a happy spitter and sometimes that’s just normal for some babies. He literally spits up after every feed so now we just wait for it. He’s never in pain or discomfort, he’s always just smiling and then blehhhh!
Here’s baby boy starting to sit up! He’s 5.5 months old now.
Omg yes we have been down all those rabbit holes! I almost cut out dairy in my diet which honestly would have really impacted my milk supply because I get so much protein and calories from my dairy! I’m glad we did not act on it and waited it out! Hopefully this tip will help other mamas!
Yes! One of my babies is like this I kept asking his doctor about it and they called him as happy spitter as well! Mine also smiles afterward like “haha mom!”
Messy, but glad it’s nothing !! My first was a spitter too. But I do think that was us he was our guinea pig baby the rest haven’t spit like that. Sometimes it just happens
I was worried for my daughter too, honestly I am still worried. Sometimes she spits up a lot. After every feeding she does this. Feeling good after reading your post. Thank you for sharing this.
My baby was a happy throw upper lol I thought he had severe acid reflux but all his tests kept coming back perfect. Babies are so crazy getting used to
It’s definitely scary to work through and there’s many things that can cause spit up, but we never knew that it could be perfectly fine and normal until around 4 months!
It’s so funny cause he gets us every time! He’s just laughing and smiling then blehhhhhh back to laughing and smiling my husband tries so hard to get it in the burp cloth but baby boy always get him
My baby is 7m and still spits up after every feed no matter how many times I burp her during a feed. Her dr said she is gaining weight perfectly so she’s intaking plenty which made me feel at ease.
