Hi Rekha & Gitashree.... are you guys letting ur babies to get burped after every feed? if not, pls do this... don't lay ur babies on bed or mat immediately after feed, keep her on your shoulder for a while, let her burped & make her to lay down... so tat splitting milk can be avoided

if splitting immediately, tat could be extra intake of milk or they use to split out if they can't hold the amount of suckled milk when it's overflowing... splitting even after burped, check if it's curdled milk it's digested one so no worries also you need to take care of ur diet... milk splitting can also due to like having over fermented flour for idly dosa or having old foods like morning cooked food for dinner, dinner food for next day morning

My baby has the same problem of spitting immediately and long after feeding, with burping. My pediatrician said it will get resolve after 3 months gradually. If spitting is projectile, the upper part of tummy is hard and elevated than rest of the tummy part then it may be due to sum underlying problem, consult a doctor.

Two things are extremely important. 1. Baby is spitting the entire milk. Then you need to take your baby to the pediatrician. 2. If it's just some milk. Then burp well. And then lay your baby down. My daughter had the same issue with burping. I'll tell you a technique that helped. Make your baby sit sideays on your lap. With feet dangling down. And rock the baby with your hands. one hand in the front one in the back and sway the such that their stomach crunches. That's what gets the burp out.

No around 4 months their digestive system gets better. And they grow out of it. Just be patient for a few more weeks

my baby had the same problem and it's the most common problems among infants. the main cause is not burping well so u try to make her burp well but besides this excessive feed is also a cause. feed little amount but after 1 hour of gap. and do not use any baby powder around neck n chest area. u can wipe ur baby and let dry near neck. may God bless ur child.

Hold your baby in upright position for at least 15 minutes and pat upper back. It helps in digestion of milk.

Now my baby is 8months. he had the spitting problem till 4 months. After that it was resolve completely once he started lying on belly. So in my experience over feeding is one cause of spitting. And it gets resolve once the child starts prone lying.
