Spit up

My son never spit up but I breastfed

My brother’s twins have reflux. They are on Enfamil AR it’s a pinkish red container

They still spit up a lot and were prescribed medication

Get a second opinion

Is the formula milk base?

I know it’s jarring when they do that but it is normal reflux my girl was the same until about 5 months, carobel or any thickener of sort might help but dw mama she will grow out of it🫶

my son had lots of spit up and at one point was prescribed reflux medication just to see if it would help (we ended up not using it after about two weeks). my pediatrician also suggested we gave him smaller feedings more frequently which i feel is what helped the most. now that he has been eating solids and is able to sit up more I’ve noticed it basically went away/ regulated overnight tbh. I understand your worry though as a first time mom i had to look up videos on what a “normal” amount of spit up looked like which gave me some peace of mind 😭

My son spit up from one feed to another from 3 weeks to 5 months. Probably 30+ times a day. So much all our family commented on it. We had him on famotadine for a bit which isn’t supposed to help with the amount of spit up, but instead the burning sensation of the acid that comes along with it. I can’t tell you if it made a difference or not. What I can tell you is now at 6 months he hardly ever spits up and it’s all a distant memory.

Might be worth trying goats milk or even a dairy free one ❤️

Experiencing the same situation we’ve been to the emergency room twice due to her choking on the spit up and have been told it’s normal. Her pediatrician saw she wasn’t gaining any weight and she’s now on famotadine and I add a small amount of Enfamil AR to her breast milk, however there’s been no change. We meet with a Ent specialist next week!

My son was like this turns out he was lactose intolerant and also get really bad trapped wind and has to be winded after every oz of milk x

For me it was milk allergy and rice allergy!

My youngest son whose a year had this issue too. I advocated enough until I tried famotodine (Pepcid) for his reflux and it helped soooooo much!! I tried all the things you did first as well. If you don't want to resort to medication try switching to goat or soy based formula. Good luck mama!

maybe try enfamil formula made for spit up??🤯

My girl was diagnosed with CMPA due to mucus in stool and excessive spit up. Since going off dairy (and doing preventative reflux things) she’s seemed to be more comfortable!

My daughter was the same way and we added maybe an ounce of rice to her bottles and kind of thick thickened it up a little and she did very well with it
