If your baby doesn’t seem ill, other reasons might include: Occasionally, some older babies will start to spit up when they hadn’t typically been spitting up. Try nursing at one breast only each feeding to avoid two strong milk ejections and, therefore, reducing overfeeding and excess swallowing of air.Try shorter, frequent feedings, if baby is agreeable, to reduce the load in her tummy.Burp gently between sides and at the end of the feeding.This is a nice time to just lean back with baby on your chest to soothe, talk, sing, or hum to him or to just snuggle. Keep baby upright for 15-20 minutes or so after feedings to allow for digestion to begin.Avoid positions that have baby bending at the waist, putting more pressure on her tummy. Use positions for feeding that keep baby’s head higher than her tummy, such as a laid-back position or having baby diagonally across your chest in a cradle hold.In the meantime, here are some general tips to keeping spit up episodes to a minimum: If your baby is overall a pleasant and healthy baby with good output and normal growth patterns, be assured that he will likely outgrow this stage by 6-12 months. Adults recognize this feeling as heartburn.Milk or food, along with acid from the stomach, backs up into the lower esophagus and irritates the tissues there.GERD occurs when the band of voluntary muscle fibers within the esophagus where it enters the stomach fails to keep the stomach contents in the stomach.If the spitting up is frequent and obviously uncomfortable for baby, it may be that your baby is experiencing gastroesophogeal reflux disease, or GERD. Allergy to foods and/or dietary supplements mother may consume.Either can result in additional air swallowed with the large volumes of milk. Mother has an oversupply of milk that can result in baby taking too much too fast for the stomach to handle.Baby is not be able to swallow quickly enough when milk ejects forcefully during a feeding, resulting in swallowing excess air.Gregory White, husband of the late LLL Founder, Mary White, “In a healthy baby, spitting up is a laundry problem, not a medical problem.”
