Hive mind, please flood me with positive news --or just give me the cold hard truth.

DS is 4 Months, ebf and has always been a sicky baby. He had a bit of reflux as a newborn but never to the level of giving him any treatment for it (except tilted cot, holding him up after a feed etc). He used to do an epic vom everyday but luckily hasn't done that much at all since the new year. But he's still soooo sicky. Constantly possetting curdled milk and often spitting out fresh looking milk with quite a bit of force. It doesn't seem to bother him however my washing pile is huge. In every other way he is a total dreamboat, sleeps well, is happy and a good weight and size. He's quite active and is rolling over both ways already, I wasn't sure if all this fast development of his stomach/abdominal muscles could be having an effect on his sickiness? Could it be something I'm eating? I tried cutting out dairy when he was newborn but it didn't make a difference. He does feed quite often (at least every hour and an half that he's awake) but does come off when he's full and will refuse the boob when he's obviously not hungry.
Oh lord.. he's just a sicky baby isn't he? And I just have to accept that I always have a bit of vom on me, and my hair and my jeans. Best go put the next load of washing on..

Baby still sicky at 4months.. when does it end?!

Not had a vomiter but I’m assuming it will get better. You don’t meet many mothers of teens with vomit down their back...
Thanks @EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic, you're right, I'm sure eventually it will end (not feeling so confident that the washing pile will ever end though.)
Must admit my mum probably had some of my alcohol induced vomit down her back at some point in my teen years though
That sounds exactly like how my son was. It got worse as he became more mobile. I started to notice an improvement at about 9 months and by 11 months it was hardly happening. He's now almost 14 months... I was just remarking on how he'd not been sick for months and bleargh all over the carpet and me. It never bothered or upset him (just me as it stunk). My son was formula fed. I concluded it was just down to his osophagus not being developed enough to hold everything in, hence it getting worse with the increased mobility. Anyway, it does get better... and by the time it does the washing pile will be just as big from all the food they slop down themselves and muck they crawl around in outside 
My DS now 22 months was like this til 8 or 9 months. Never bothered him, but like you I was often covered in baby sick! Worst part was after weaning with the orange sick...that stains more! He's not a sicky toddler at all now though. I felt like you that it would never end. We used Gaviscon for a bit but it was a faff with BFing (did help a bit). Once he moved to formula at 8 months the sick seemed to slow down, no idea if that was coincidence though. I'm a few weeks pregnant with my second and crossing fingers to not have a sicky one this time
Dressing gown is a great tip @Brys125, I feel stupid that I didn't think of that before.
Also please switch any time I've written 'Muslim' for 'muslin'... 
I do not present a muslim made from golden thread, just a muslin for any graduates from the SBC.
