Spitting Up - Reflux

Home Care Advice - Feed Smaller Amounts

Feed Smaller Amounts

  • Bottlefed: Give smaller amounts per feeding (at least 1 ounce less than you have been). Keep the total feeding time to less than 20 minutes (reason: overfeeding or filling the stomach to capacity always makes spitting up worse).
  • Breastfed: If you have a plentiful milk supply, try nursing on 1 side per feeding and pumping the other side. Alternate sides you start on.
