In a gist spitting up is simply a sign of
an immature digestive system. Spitting
up is more annoying to the parents than
the baby because of the laundry problem
it poses. But it is a temporary one because
by the time baby begins to sit up and crawl,
spitting up ceases on its own.
Why the Spit
Up
• Typically a newborn's stomach is
not developed enough to handle the milk
or formula and so the tendency to bring
up the food.
• Babies when they drink their formula
or milk gulp in air along with their feeds.
The trapped air when it comes up brings
the liquid does up as well.
• Excess mucus needs to be cleared
else it can also cause spit ups
• Overfed babies tend to spit up
