The noise you hear when your baby finishes their feed is vomit. This spray of liquid coming out can sometimes make a sound like water droplets hitting an old tray, or it might just come up in small surges followed by continuous streams until it’s done.
But one thing’s for certain: there will be spit-up everywhere!
If you’re feeling overwhelmed with all the changes that come along while trying to bring home a new baby, then it’s time for some positive thinking.
Your worries are normal and commonplace in terms of being parents – there will always be an exception or two who could do without any sleepless nights (or days).
However, if these feelings start getting too much; here’s what I recommend:
Start by reminding yourself how lucky we were when our children came into this world because at least now they’re alive!
We should celebrate every moment spent nurturing them from their earliest steps until adulthood pays off with graduation certificates clutched proudly between bended knees…even—perhaps most importantly–if things get tough sometimes like baths
When you feel so many emotions in your head and can’t figure out if it’s normal or not, allow us to offer some assistance.

What is a normal spit-up?
Babies are born with an instinct to feed and take care of their needs. Baby Spit-up is just what it sounds like – a liquid that comes out during or shortly after feeding, typically from the baby retrieving milk back into its mouth before swallowing.
This small amount will not harm them in any way; however, some babies might find comfort when spitting uplands on the face as an extra source for wetting themselves without having uneaten food nearby which could make things uncomfortable at night time while sleeping among other distractions such as toys etcetera!
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) can develop where there’s constant pressure build-up between lower esophagus wall tissues.
Babies are the most wonderful creatures in this world, but they’re not perfect.
If you notice your baby is drooling after every feed then has a red bulbous nose while burping or throwing up milk-soaked diapers for hours at night without stopping.
Chances are he/she may have Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (or “ Weston Price Syndrome “).
Some signs that what your infant is experiencing could very well be GERD include. Choking on their spit-up as it comes out; an unhappy and uncomfortable demeanor due to apparent heartburn all day long, poor weight gain, etc.
What causes spit-up?
This is a common question for parents who are looking to make sure their kids are getting all of the nutrients they need. The truth of it?
It has nothing to do with space exploration or even basic motor skill development! Instead, babies’ immature systems can lead them astray when dealing with food in two ways:
Firstly by being unable to chew properly so everything ends up just coming back up again – this is considered developmental normal at best. Secondly, because there isn’t enough room inside your stomach yet (particularly during infancy).

Here are some other causes of spit-up:
Air eating, which is consuming more air than what your body needs; too much bouncing or tummy time can also cause this. Another possible reason for the excessive vomiting could be pyloric stenosis.
It occurs in babies within one month after birth and results from intense muscle contractions during feedings resulting in projectile vomiting.
Surgery may be necessary if left untreated because these cases aren’t entirely rare!
The baby might need medicines or medical treatment if his/her pyloric stenosis is showing signs.
What is the dissent within spit-up and vomiting?
It can be hard sometimes to make this call. Several distinguishing factors usually help you settle on an answer between the two, like spit-up typically coming up quickly and being mostly quiet as it strikes; but what about when they both happen at once?
Well, then how do we know which one our baby throws back into his/her mouth time after time without us even watching closely enough.
Or maybe he likes surprising mommy with her own medicine by swallowing everything down no matter how much she tells him not to eat anymore?!
The truth is mothers always feel guilty if their infant has vomited due.
Vomiting can be a sign of an illness or virus but is not always the case.
Spit-up happens more often in the early months and typically begins before 6 months old if it’s going to appear.
Vomiting usually occurs alongside other symptoms like fever or diarrhea when there’s another problem at hand that needs attention from your pediatrician.
Vomiting often comes on quickly and ends just as abruptly, since it’s linked to the underlying illness. Vomit frequently has an unpleasant retching noise which is due in part to liver bile.
Its greenish color also speaks volumes about how much your body needs some time off-duty!
When is spit-up a problem?
What’s happening when your child spits up? Spit-up is just a normal part of babyhood. It happens during the first few months (and sometimes years) in which infants start eating solid food and drinking liquids like breast milk or formula, but not from all liquids at once.
They’ll take in one thing here and another there until it looks more like vomit than anything else! But if you notice any unusual symptoms with spit-ups then contact your doctor right away–it could be something serious:
When your child has vomiting or spitting up, their doctor might recommend that you feed them liquids to hydrate.
It can be difficult for an infant who is not yet able to drink on his own but once he gets the hang of things this will only take a few minutes each time before giving him another bottle with some extra formula if needed!
When your baby is eating solid food, you might expect that the first few times they eat something new it will taste awful. But as time goes on their tastes buds become more accustomed to different flavors making tryouts much easier for mommy!
If normal spit-up can usually be handled at home without contacting one’s pediatrician. If by 12 months age there seems an increase in quantity or weight loss; then make an appointment with our doctor right away because of vomiting blood/bile etc.
Could indicate serious illness like rotavirus severe dehydration, gastrointestinal obstructions which require immediate attention.
Tips for spit-up
If you are feeding your baby on a schedule and they have been spitting up consistently, it may be time for them to try the breastless.
Try limiting how much formula or milk is offered at each feed so that way there’s not an excessive amount in between burps or when sleeping which could lead to more nausea than necessary.
Pumping sessions while bottle-feeding can help make sure their stomachs get used to being full before trying new foods by giving small quantities instead of one large dose all at once
Takeaway
Do you know that noise your baby makes when they’re eating? The one where it sounds like their stomach is growling and they sputter out this sticky stuff all over themselves, right before getting a deep breath of air or paper towels from you (which can happen multiple times)?
Well, sometimes these episodes last longer than just once a year. And as much as we want them gone by age 1-2 years old; moms might need some extra cleaning supplies because spit-up doesn’t go away any time soon either!
