Yackety Yack, the Milk Came Back.
How long is a baby supposed to spit up for? The Lexling is a puking champ and at 5mos, shows no signs of stopping. I feed him at an incline and try not to jiggle him afterward other than burping him, but it's clearly not enough. I tried adding a cereal meal in the afternoons, thinking something more solid would stay down, but nope - right back up.
It doesn't bother him at all and it doesn't shoot more than a few inches, so the ped says it's not reflux and needs no treatment. He only eats 6oz/ feeding or less, but the volume of spit up is pretty substantial - I usually see between .5 and 3oz per feeding again - occasionally more.
I figure this is just something he will grow out of, but any suggestions are welcome - I'm on my 3rd shirt of the day and have resorted to stripping him down to his diapers and a bib!
On the plus side, the tummy pain he had been having for the last few months seems to have gone - not that he can't fart with the best of them, but it just doesn't seem to bother him much anymore.
