Question

is it normal for a 6mo old to spit up alot my daughter has been like this since birth but now she is eating fruits and vegs and cereal plus her milk and between feedings she spits up alot till It's time for her next feeding and I feed her 3 times a day. when she gets up at 6 or 7 she will drink 4 oz of milk. At 8:30 she eats cereal with a fruit sometimes a little milk just a sip or too then again at 12 or 1:00 I give her cereal and a veg. and then she will drink 4 to 6 oz of milk and then she falls asleep for her nap she does that in the morn too about 9 or 10 she takes a nap twice a day. and for super she gets cereal and a veg and for a deseret a little fruit she eats like 1/4 or 1/2 a cup of cereal at a feeding should i not feed her cereal at noon will that help with all the spit up plus she is now filling 3 to 4 poopy diapers a day is it normal?

Answer 1

this is normal for babies her age it goes away on its own but in my experience its better to put cereal in every milk you give her to thicken it up, as long as she steadily gains weight and is well nutritioned it wont hurt her, its also very good that you have her on a schedule already plus the foods u are giving her sound very good......honestly honey sounds like ur doing a great job

Answer 2

Sounds like she's being overfed. You might want to give her less of the milk each time because the fruits, veggies, and cereal are filling up her stomach, which is fine as long as you aren't giving her too much milk before and after. Having too much food in her stomach is what is causing her to throw up so often and have more poopy diapers. She's being fed more which causing her to have more poopy diapers.

Answer 3

6 months is still pretty young to be eating solid foods (even though most doctors say it's ok)...if she's spitting up I would certainly cut back on some things...her little digestive system is still immature and perhaps either can't handle the quantity of food or the type.

Good luck!

Answer 4

If she spits up that much, she is probably allergic to something you are giving her. My son did this same thing, and it turned out he was lactose intolerant, so we had to switch him to pro so bee formula. Talk to your babie's Dr. A little spit up is OK, but not that much. Also, is she fussy a lot, it could be acid reflux. When you lay her down after she eats does she get upset, and then you sit her up and she's fine? If so it could be acid reflux.

Answer 5

spitting up a lot is usually acid reflux, she'll grow out of it, until then try infamil gentle ease, or carnation good start, its easier on her tummy
