Extra spit up

Has anyone else noticed their baby spitting up has increased recently? She didn't spit up much (although I wonder if it was silent reflux) and now she's almost 16 weeks, she spits up much more often. I'm not sure if it's because she's more active or excitable or whether it's something to worry about? I will mention it to the health visitors next week at the weigh in clinic I think, but wondered if anyone else has noticed the same?

Yes my daughter has and also lost weight recently going to mention it next week at baby hub

I have definitely noticed more spit up (he's 18 wks) and I too wondered if it could be reflux? But I'm not sure cause he's been grabbing his feet and putting them in his mouth which maybe adding pressure on his tummy plus the active part you mentioned could be contributing to it. I also read somewhere that the extra saliva could be another reason but glad to hear I'm not alone!

Have also noticed this as he never used to do it! Assumed it was to do with salvia build up in prep for teething / eating etc and so he just has less control? Would be interested to hear if anyone does get answers 😊 x

At around 4 months babies reflux/spit up tend to peak! There’s a lot of changes happening so it tends to peak around now and gets a lot better around 6 months, mostly when they can sit as their muscles get stronger to hold the food down

Yes i have noticed this too! My baby is 14 weeks

Seems like it's maybe quite normal then! Thanks all! ❤️
