Spit Happens

Solstice and Aiden never spit up much so Isaiah is providing a whole new experience for us. I don't know how one little baby can provide so much spit up. Sometimes it seems like everything he just ate comes back up. The kids came up with calling it "cheesing", as in,"Isaiah cheesed me! Get me a spit-up rag!!" So far the only real issue is the crazy amount of laundry it makes! At least with it being breastmilk spit up, it doesn't stain at all.

Why does my baby spit up so much?
He's probably just getting the hang of feeding. And he's not alone: About 40 percent of young babies spit up regularly. The peak age for spitting up is 4 months.When your baby takes in air along with his breast milk the air gets trapped in with the liquid. The air has to come up, and when it does, so does some of the liquid.Babies take in a lot of nourishment in relation to their size, and some of them really like to eat, so sometimes they become overfilled and, well, overflow.A newborn's digestive system isn't fully developed, either. The muscles at the bottom of your baby's esophagus, which control whether food is coming or going, may still be getting up to speed.

His other issue with spit is being super drooly. He soaks the whole front of his shirts. It gets even worse when he's hungery. When I'm getting him in position to eat and he knows its coming, he starts spitting like wild. It cracks me up. I guess his mouth is just watering!
