One Year Old And Spit Up After Milk

One Year Old And Spit Up After Milk

by Jen
(Chicago)

My baby is 13 months old. Since I have changed from formula to milk he has been spitting up quite frequently, almost daily. Sometimes it is just liquid and others time it is chunks. He burps before it comes up. Eerytime he burps I checking to see if he spit up as well. Could this be reflux? I talked to the doctor and she said it may be post nasal drip and to give him Donatusin to help. Well it does not seem to be working. I have changed his feeding schedule. I am giving him less food more frequently throughout the day. The spit up is aweful. Sometimes its hard for me to clean up without gagging.

Intolerane
by: Paula (Baby Help Line)

Hi Jen,

Since your son started spitting up just recently I don't think it is reflux. Babies usually have that right from the start and actually grows aout of it around their first birthday if not earlier.

Since the spitting up started after you hanged his diet, have you considered it to be an allergy or intolerance? He could have a milk allergy or lactose intolerance. If you think this might be a possibility, then take him off all dairy products for a few weeks and see if it helps. If it does, you can take him to a doctor and ask for a test.

If you don't think it is related to him starting with milk, when other possibilities are a cold or stomach bug.

I really hope you get it solved and he will be better soon.

Warm wishes,

Paula

13 month old spit up
by: Leila

My son did the same thing once he started cows milk. We found that adjusting the amount of milk and how he consumed it helped. We went from 8oz bottles to 4-6 oz and that made a huge difference. He started drinking from a straw cup. We also made sure he ate solids before he got his milk (if not with his meal than shortly after his meal) which helped keep things down.
