Question
My baby is three months old and started spitting up after feeding, but after more than an hour, they began to spit up water. Is this normal?
Answer
This could be because the baby, being quite small, is prone to spitting up after moving around soon after feeding. When a baby spits up water one hour after breastfeeding, it indicates discomfort or indigestion. After an hour, the milk has been in the stomach and has neutralized with stomach acid, resulting in water. At this point, the vomit may just be water. You can give the baby digestive medicine to adjust gut function, extend the breastfeeding interval, and drink water between feedings.
