Baby Spit Up: What’s Normal and Red Flags to Watch For

  • Resumen

  • In this episode of The Beehive Doc Talks, Dr. Blair Rolnick addresses concerns about newborn spit-up, distinguishing between normal reflexes and potential signs of a more serious condition. She explains that newborns often spit up due to an underdeveloped lower esophageal sphincter and reassures parents that spit up is typically harmless if the baby is not in pain, is growing well, and is eating normally. However, she warns parents to seek medical advice if symptoms like forceful vomiting, blood in spit-up, respiratory issues, or significant discomfort are present.

    Dr. Rolnick also advises practical tips for managing spit up, such as keeping the baby upright after feeds and avoiding tight clothing. Crucially, she debunks the myth that excessive burping reduces spit up, noting it can actually worsen the condition. Always consult a pediatrician for any health concerns about your baby.
