• Spitting-up, also called regurgitation, is the back-flow of milk from the stomach into the mouth, which is often ‘spat out’ or “dribbled out” of the mouth after feeding and is common in healthy babies.
• It is the result of an immature digestive system and usually reduces in frequency as your baby grows. It is the passive back-flow of milk, and is not forced out.
• Symptoms of spiting-up are common and generally resolve by 12 months of age.

• Record if your baby spits up/regurgitates/vomits more than usual, or if it seems to cause trouble without any other obvious cause, including an infection.

Once completed, this chart should be reviewed by your baby's healthcare professional.
