How can I keep my baby from spitting up after every meal?
If your baby seems to be spitting up excessively, ask your baby's doctor about thickened formulas created to help reduce spit up.
Also, try these simple hints:
Make each feeding as relaxed as possible for him.
Feed him smaller amounts.
Try to avoid disruptions like bright lights or unusual noises during a feeding.
If your baby is crying and frantic with hunger, calm her before the feeding. That might prevent her from gulping air.
Keep your baby in an upright position while you feed her.
Burp your baby after every 2-3 fluid ounces.
Avoid bouncing and very active play right after eating.
Make sure the hole in the bottle's nipple is the right size. When you turn the bottle upside down, a few drops of formula should come out. Then the dripping should stop.
