I find that sticking his dummy in as I sit him up will help him burp BUT it also keeps in what may come out...in saying that today it didn't work but then again I did have ice-cream last night

Ditto for what others have said]]> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 22:56:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768620&title=spilling#768620 <![CDATA[Spilling : . ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768614&title=spilling#768614 Author: NewPhoenix

That's a good idea Angel4 coz it does *seem* like heaps.

My gremlins used to power chuck entire feeds (they were refluxers tho), it was like something out of the Exorcist - they'd go "cough, cough....bleurgh!" and out it would come - and yep, we never fed them without a cloth nappy or muslin on hand to mop it up.]]> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 21:39:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768548&title=spilling#768548 <![CDATA[Spilling : It is actually a form of reflux,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768543&title=spilling#768543 Author: whitewave

It is actually a form of reflux, just not the painful kind - my Plunket nurse called it "the happy chucker"! All the above suggestions are great, and there's also good info on the Crying Over Spilt Milk website.]]> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 21:36:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768543&title=spilling#768543 <![CDATA[Spilling : henry spilled heaps for the first...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768406&title=spilling#768406 Author: angel4

henry spilled heaps for the first 6months. Its exhausting washing all the time.
But one suggestion that really helped me was my midwife said to take a teaspoon of water and spill it on your bench - this gives you an idea for how much they are actually spilling. I thought henry was throwing back his whole feed but it looked like a lot more than it actually was.
everything else we did has already been suggested.
Hope it gets better for you hun as i know how frustrating and difficult this can be.]]> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:44:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768406&title=spilling#768406 <![CDATA[Spilling : Thanks I will raise her bassinett...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768361&title=spilling#768361 Author: Shezamumof3

Thanks
I will raise her bassinett base a bit tonight. My midwife said to keep her reclined after Ive fed her and not move her around too much to give the milk time to settle.
I'll also change her nappy before I feed her, as she often spills while Im doing that.
I had to go out and buy two packs of cloth naps, and we go through a heaps of those a day some of her spills are massive!

Sometimes after she has spilled she is quite settled and will nod off, and sometimes she continues to root around and cry, so I'll feed her again. She gets weighed tomorrow, so if she hasnt put on a decent amount of weight I'll ask my MW about the spilling again.]]> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 18:51:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768361&title=spilling#768361 <![CDATA[Spilling : Chloe power-chucked almost everything...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768292&title=spilling#768292 Author: LittleBug

Chloe power-chucked almost everything for the first 5 months and I was constantly re-feeding her. She put on weight well with re-feeding and the Doctor said that even though it looks like everything has come out, they are still keeping a bit down. But if Bella seems really hungry after she spills up then I would probably give her more - that's the only way Chloe would get much milk at all.

We did things like lilfatty as well... change before a feed, sit up during feeds, don't lie down straight after feeds, cot end propped up, etc. We also used to use cloth nappies on her/our lap as well as bibs during feed times so that we *hopefully* didn't need a shower and change of clothes after every feed, lol.

We also ended up getting her reflux meds because they helped a bit, she was happy enough most of the time when she chucked but got grumpy at other times. Gaviscon powder helped her keep it all down a bit better as well.

If Bella is only spilling occasionally then I wouldn't worry too much about it, if you are feeding her when she's hungry then she will put on weight well. But if you are worried then talk to your midwife or Dr.

Elias is the same (but is getting better) I will re feed him IF he wont settle without, as sometimes he has just overfilled his tummy.

We just use some tips to try and keep the milk down such as;

Feeding him with his head raised slightly.
Changing him first (as lifting there bottoms and them kicking can cause the milk to come up)
His change table and bed are both raised too.]]> Mon, 07 Sep 2009 17:28:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768278&title=spilling#768278 <![CDATA[Spilling : Ok so Im not used to this, as...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28602&PID=768247&title=spilling#768247 Author: Shezamumof3

Ok so Im not used to this, as Caden never spilled, but Bella is very spilly, spills quite a lot after every feed, and Im just worried that she is throwing up her entire feed, and that none will be left in here tummy

Will she actually be keeping some in her tummy? She still seems hungry after she has spilled, so I will feed her again, and she chucks again! Im worried she wont put on enough weight, like caden

I know its not reflux, cos she isnt in any pain, she just casually spills and it doesnt seem to faze her at all!
