Babies often spit-up at times other than feeding. You can't live in the kitchen. They spit up at 6 months old? Color me educated. Mine never did. I didn't catch who OP was. Since she did not mention age, I did not think but that it was a newborn. Either hers still spits up or it's just drool or she's talking about old stains. For whatever reason, I had a mental image of eating spills despite the OP clearly saying spit up. Mental block on my part. |

Cleaning up baby spit-up

Just curious if there's any certain product that'll help clean up any left over residue once you get the majority of it up with paper towel/ tissues. I found a miracle carpet cleaner called "Spot Shot instant professional carpet cleaner". It comes in a spray can. After you lift up the stuff from the carpet, soak the area liberally with this, rub it with a rag and dunk the rag in hot water and wring it. Repeat the rubbing and wringing 3-4 times. You won't even notice the stain. We have beige carpets and you can't tell that anything happened. Some carpet cleaners like Resolve leave the carpet pile brittle. This product is really awesome. I bought a four pack from Sam's or Costco. I have two kids who generally like to throw up in bed when they have a cough. I use it a lot. I only used it on carpet so far. Never on furniture. Some day I'll try it in my car upholstery. NAYY. |

Mine never did. #3 still does, and he's 6 months next week. he's never been a sicky baby, but he does produce a bit, often some time after feeding too. He's got a cold at present which doesn't help, but is still fully breastfed. Debbie |

Yes, our 6 month old spits up. Just about a teaspoon's worth. He gets burped all the time, sometimes he doesn't burp. We had him on milk Similac at about 4 months after he stopped breastfeeding/mother stopped producing, and then maybe a week or 2 later put him on Soy Similac. Just a quick note for your next baby: around 3-4 months is when mommy's milk supply regulates, which means it produces as much as is removed. (Before that, milk gets produced as much as possible as long as milk gets removed.) This is when most women *think* they no longer have enough milk because they are no longer engorged or baby needs to nurse more because of a growth spurt. But, if mama perseveres, supply will be fine. I feel more comfortable as a parent knowing my son is *not* drinking milk meant for baby cow's (that's how i look at it, call me crazy and no offense to any that give their babies dairy). This is good. Breastmilk or formula should be baby's primary food for the first 12 months. Breastmilk and formula are complete foods for baby. Cow's milk is merely one part of a well-balanced diet. i saw some threads that spit up is natural. It depends. Pillbug rarely spit up. Rocky spit up every time we burped him, so I stopped burping him at a couple of months old. -- Anita -- |
