Is it common for brestfed babies to spit up often. we have some days where there is none and some days where it seems like every time she eats shes spitting up. Shes doing a lot of clusterfeeding and I think I have some OAL stuff going on. Ive spoken with an LC and our pediatrician about it, the pedi says not to worry since she is gaining weight

Hailey spit up ALL THE TIME, but she was also screaming and hiccupping all the time as well, which led us to her diagnosis of acid reflux. Now that she is on the medicine, she is doing much better and only seldomly spits up.
On the other hand, my brother spit up every single feeding, but was a happy and content baby. Nothing wrong with him, they just called him a 'happy spitter'.

What made you guys think it was acid reflux, I mean what made you think it was more than just being a spitty baby, the screaming?

Yeppers. SHe was definitely very screamy, very uncomfortable, arching her back all the time, etc. Really wish it didn't take 6 weeks to figure it out! Life is so much easier now!

We have been giving gas drops some, it's weird cause she will be latched and eating and spit up out of her nose and everything, it stinks.
