Baby still being sick at 8 months.

[babytedsmamma]

I have an 8 month old little baby and he's mainly eating baby food now rather than his bottles. He has a bottle before bedtime and through the night when he wakes for a feed. Everytime he has a bottle he sicks most of it back up and I give him a drink of water with his food and tends to be sick after a drink too. Is this normal. I'm a bit concerned as he's 8 month now and people keep asking me if that should be happening or if I need to get him seen to.

My little one had bad reflux as a baby and once weaned his gag reflex was quite bad, meaning he was chocking/throwing up/spitting out a lot. At the time I have been told it was normal and now he's over 2 he's absolutely fine. But he never consistently vomited all the liquids as you describe.
If I was you I would ask my GP as at least you will get some reassurance.

One of my DS was the same, health visitor told me it’s a laundry problem!! Not very helpful but it did end up stopping around 8/9 months. I’d speak to my GP for peace of mind if baby is on solids now.

Urgh this is so annoying - two of mine were endlessly sick. I’m no doctor so my advice is worthless, but mine went on beyond 1. It does often look like more than it actually is. If you pour out 10ml for example onto the kitchen counter it looks like loads. If your baby is gaining weight and having wet nappies then it doesn’t sound like a problem apart from the endless clothing changes which is so annoying. As I said, not a doctor just talking from my own experience.

My son was like this, doctors kept giving us useless reflux medication that never worked. Weaning didn’t help. Turns out he never bloody had reflux, he has CMPA. Didn’t find out until he was 8 months old.

Both my boys were sick daily until around 12 months old, muslins and bibs used a lot! As long as he's gaining weight and having wet nappies, it really is just a washing problem. I remember I read a lot about it and apparently there's some part of the stomach that matures over time and that boys are more likely to do this than girls.

My DS is still doing this at 13 months, although MUCH less than he used to. I’d agree that as long as he’s not distressed by it and he’s gaining weight and has wet nappies than he’s likely to just grow out of it. Do talk to your GP or HV if you’re worried though.

With my now 14yr old this lasted until he was 14/15 months then it got better. He's was a "happy vomiter" the HV called him. He was never bothered by his reflux but boy did he have it!! He did grow up a very fussy eater though!

My DS had CMPA and the associated reflux. He was sick a lot until he was 15months old. Standard GP was useless who kept saying it's what babies do, had to push lots to get referred to a paediatrician which we didn't get to see till he was 1 who diagnosed CMPA. Milk taken out of diet and then reintroduced in stages.
He's still not 100% now at 3.5. Too much dairy and he can get a tummy ache or can be a tiny bit sick. If he's ill and upset we need to calm him down before giving him calpol as crying on an empty stomach can bring the calpol back up.

My baby was still being sick at 10mo. I cut out citrus from my diet (bf) and her diet and it stopped.
