Reflux or normal
Hi there, my 5 week old often has spit ups from her formula. I do combi so even with bf she has spit ups. Currently using SMA, do I go to the GP or is this normal? Even after burping and sitting her up for 30 mins she still does spit ups. Any advice?

Unless your little one is in clear & obvious discomfort after feeding, I wouldn’t say you need to make an appointment, as the other commenter said, mention it at your next appointment. I’ve had 2 babies with bad reflux, and the symptoms surpass just “spit up” Its back arching, gulping when feeding, crying during and after feeding, large amounts of spit up / vomitting, little to no weight gain.
@Cassie she deffo gulps when feeding, but will mention it when I go for an appointment thank you!
@Michelle thank you!

I dont feel you need to bring her in for just this, but I'd mention it at her next appointment just so her pediatrician knows. Our pediatrician said that some babies are just happy spitters. As long as she's not projectile vomiting & still gaining weight, it's completely normal. We go through so many burp rags 😅 make sure you're pace feeding (stopping to burp frequently)
