When did ur spitter start spitting?

[Anonymous]

Did it start from birth? Or did you you have a baby who didn’t spit up BECOME a baby that did?

My first DD spit up TONS! Excess of 30 times a day! Thickening her feeds help a bit, but that’s it. This continued till 9 months old. She started this from the moment she was born and it worsened as she began taking in more and more formula.

My newborn has reflux as well, but at almost 3 weeks old does not spit up. Do you think it’s safe to assume she’ll be a silent refluxer? Or can the spit up start up.

They were both born 3 weeks early, but while my first was a peanut at 6 pounds 6 ounces, this one is a chunka weighing in at 8 pounds. I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

What are your thoughts/experiences?

My silent refluxer was born @ 38 1/2 wks & was 6lbs 9oz… he’s only 9wks old now, but still doesn’t spit up really @ all (maybe 1x every 2 days).

We were a chunk at 39wks and 3 days at 9lbs 11oz. And he spit up pretty much from the minute he was born and it got worse until about 9 months when he gradually slowed down and then stopped around 11 months.

Claire was a silent refluxer and didn’t spit much really. Ben did spit more, but he actually started spitting a ton once he was medicated. It was like he was more comfortable, so he didn’t try to stop it from coming up. His spitting lasted until he was about 10 months old or so.

Sarah spit up immediately. I questioned her ped about it before we had even left the hospital. She was 8lb 1oz. I would guess she has silent reflux!

both boys started around their due date

Ashlynn started the day she was born and stopped about 9-10 months.

My DD was one who became a spitter. She started @ about 2 months old and has gotten better. She only spits up every once in a while now and is just shy of 6 months old. I’m hoping that with the changes we’re making she grows out of the reflux before the age of 1. 🙂

My first boy (8 lbs) was a puker from day one. Spit up buckets until 9 months old.

My younger guy (8 lbs 4oz) was born with painful silent reflux and rarely spit up until he got on a PPI drug, then he was comfy enough to spit up from time to time, but still silently swallowed it most of the time. When he was about 9 months old I noticed that I didn’t hear that gulping sound as much and by 10 months his silent reflux symptoms started disappearing enough that we could wean him from meds.

My dd (8# even) was a happy spitter. She used to blow bubbles with it. She was born at 41 weeks 4 days. She is my oldest.

My ds (9# 4oz) started refluxing the night he was born. It is silent reflux and with lots of pain if he’s not medicated well. My ds was born at 40 weeks 4 days. If he actually does spit up (which is very very rare) it is always projectile.

Both of mine were spitting up within the first 24 hours of birth.

Both of mine spit up from birth. Both were born at 38 weeks and Riley was 9lbs 1oz and Teagan was 7lbs 14oz.

Because of silent reflux, our DD never spit up much (until recently- she finally learned to let it go). We diagnosed her because of gasping for air and choking at night vs. spit up. That was at about 4 weeks.
