My 6 mo old spits up a lot what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spit up: The most important issues here are the babies comfort level and weight gain. In the absence of irritability in a baby who is gaining appropriate weight, you don't necessarily have to do anything. Often the introduction of solid foods in the 4-6 month age range will help control it anyway. But if your baby is irritable and/or is not gaining appropriate weight, evaluation by a doctor is needed.
