A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reflux: Reflux is a common occurrence in children. We call the baby who spits up and is growing well and happy to be the "happy spitter". 40% of infants will spit up at least twice daily. A very common cause that can be causing more spitting up is over-feeding. Discuss with your pediatrician the correct amout of feeds for the baby's age.
