Spilling when will she stop?

Nope she doesn't have reflux, the dribbling has only recently started in the past month.

I had a spilly baby too. He was even sick the night he was born lol but that was mucous. Anywho, he used to spill EVERY SINGLE FEED at least once. It was horrible. He wore bibs every moment he was awake. Mum2mum bibs were great. SillyBillyz do a good one too coz it sits so close around the neck.
Anyway one day when he was about 7.5months I thought to myself, "hey, DS hasn't spewed in awhile" and he hasn't since. Well, the odd one where he's been a guzzle guts but nothing like before. And he WASN'T a reflux baby.

It will get better, but just like every baby is different - every baby's spilling is too.

P.s it smells worse when they're on solids too

Zoe is a really spilly baby and doesn't have acid reflux.  She is what they call a "happy chucker" 

Found not much we could do except her wearing bibs all the time and have a cloth at the ready to wipe up the spills.  And yeah she dribbled constantly.  We had her on thickend formula which helped while she was little but once we started solids just changed to normal formula. 

the carpet takes a hammering but I've stopped stressing about it now.  She is much better now at 7 mths but still spills heaps.  The dribble has subsided somewhat so bibs aren't daily attire anymore but she has dribbled heaps during teething.

ETA:  the spilling at night stopped at about 4 mths which was good.  I just used flat nappies too instead of having to change the sheets all the time
