🤱 Why Babies Spit Up (and When to Worry)?
⸻
🍼 Why it happens (and it’s usually normal!):
• Baby’s digestive system is still developing
• Drinking milk too quickly or swallowing air
• Lying down right after feeds
• Overfeeding
⸻
🌱 Simple tips to reduce spit-up:
✅ Always burp your baby after feeds
✅ Keep baby upright for 20–30 mins post feed
✅ Feed smaller amounts more often
✅ Ensure proper latch during breastfeeding or slow-flow nipple for bottles
⸻
⚠️ When to consult a doctor:
🚨 Forceful, projectile vomiting
🚨 Green or bloody vomit
🚨 Poor weight gain or refusal to feed
🚨 Signs of dehydration (dry mouth, few wet diapers)
⸻
💡 Quick reassurance:
Most babies outgrow spit-up by 6–12 months as their digestive system matures.
