Bringing up milk, commonly known as regurgitation or spit-up, refers to the effortless flow of stomach contents, including milk, back up into the mouth, which often occurs shortly after feeding in infants. This phenomenon is quite common in babies, particularly in the first few months of life, as their digestive systems are still developing, and the muscle at the top of the stomach, known as the lower esophageal sphincter, is not yet fully mature. This immaturity allows stomach contents to flow backward into the esophagus and out of the mouth. Causes of bringing up milk include overfeeding, swallowing air during feeding, or lying down too soon after eating. In some cases, it can also be related to gastroesophageal reflux (GER), where stomach acid and contents are regurgitated, sometimes causing discomfort or crying.
Treatment for bringing up milk generally involves simple measures aimed at reducing the amount of air swallowed during feeding and improving feeding techniques. Ensuring the baby is in an upright position during and after feeds for at least 20-30 minutes can help prevent regurgitation. Frequent burping during and after feeds, feeding smaller amounts more frequently, and avoiding overfeeding can also reduce the frequency of spit-ups. For breastfed infants, checking for a proper latch can help minimize air intake. In formula-fed babies, trying a slower-flow nipple may be beneficial. If gastroesophageal reflux is suspected to cause significant discomfort or poor weight gain, a healthcare provider might recommend specific feeding adjustments, thickening feeds, or in rare cases, medication to reduce acid production. Most cases of bringing up milk improve as the infant grows, and the digestive system matures, typically resolving by 12 to 18 months of age.
