 Topic: Spilling when will she stop?
Posted: 06 February 2011 at 6:58pm |
|
DD is a very spilly baby it seems to have gotten worse over the last few weeks and the amount of dribble has increased, where it seems its more dribble she's bringing up rather than milk.
When will she get control of her wee tummy?

My DD didn't stop spilling so much till she was established on solids! Even then she would still spill sometimes, just not as often.

Did you do anything to keep on top of the endless wet clothes?

DD stopped when she was on solids too.
We used heaps of muslin cloths and I could usually predict when she was going to spill, so was well prepared with a cloth. 
Mum2mum do great dribble bibs....I would highly recommend investing in a few. They look like bandana's too, so very trendy and don't actually look like bibs

Waterproof backed bibs will be your best friend!

DD was very spilly, I think it had a definite improvement around 5-6mths, basically after she started solids.
The dribble may have to do with teeth if shes usually spilly but not dribbly. We just used lots of flat white cloth nappies as super large "bibs"

About 5 months here, well that's when I noticed it getting less milk and more drool and solids at 6 months and around then was when she stopped spilling.

DS2 is very spilly as well. TBH the amount of washing and cleaning up I do sometimes gets me down! He has got a bit better recently (he started solids at 6 months). 2 different doctors told me that it should stop by the time he is 1 (!!!). That is when the valve at the top of their tummies should be working right.
As to the wet clothes, I had him in bibs from fairly young (some people thought I was giving him solids  ) also I use an old style flat nappy over my shoulder when burping or even just holding him, it's become his permanent accesory!

I always have a muslin or a flat nappy handy. Avoided bibs so far guess I'll have to add them to her daily atire.

We used bibs from birth, but that was just because every time I fed her (BF) my letdown was so forceful she'd pull off and get drenched rofl! But bibs saved clothes otherwise I'd be changing her every 2 hours!

The neck of her sleep sack gets pretty sodden and crusty with spilled milk. Shame they're so expensive we really need two.

permanent bibs here and the polar fleece top ones with plastic underneath are great - NO wet clothes!

Sorry, Zac is 10.5 months old and still spills several times each day  He eats loads of solids and has done since 4.5 months. Harry was about 5-6 months I think when his stopped though 
Bibs - Mum2Mum. Worth the price. Amazing for spilly and dribbly bubs.

Usually around 6 months old they get better, I guess it coincides with sitting up.
I agree on bibs, we used them as Cooper dribbled a ton.
Dribbling does seem to go along with reflux I've noticed. Just an observation not saying that C has reflux.

DD's got better at around 8 months when she started sitting, but she still spills once a day or so at nearly 14 months. It seems to go away but get worse around bad teething times. We used a lot of cloth flats as permanent accessories and bibs on all the time.

When Kiara still does the odd one (more dribble these days) she stops and plays with the puddles, then crawls through them, shes an expert floor washer (luckily most of the floor is wood!).

Spilling when will she stop?
