Regurgitation

Regurgitation of feeds are common in babies. The babies may regurgitate after feeding or hiccups. There are several causes for this.

1. Overfeeding. When a baby feeds to much, he will tend to regurgitate.

2. Wrong dilution of formula milk.

3. Inappropriate size of the hole in the teat.

4. Wrong handling of the bottle while feeding and the baby sucks too much air.

To prevent this, ensure that you burp the baby after feeding.

As long as your baby is developing well and gaining weight and feeding well,  there is nothing for you to worry about.

But beware. If your baby regurgitates after every  feeding, or vomit or spitting to much much, difficulty in breathing or choking or wheezing, consult your doctor immediately.
