GERD?

Posted by Chelsea on December 02, 2002 at 16:35:01:

My son will be 10 weeks on Wednesday. His birhtweight was 8lbs 3 ozs, 21 inches. At 9 weeks he was 15 lbs 4 ozs, 25 inches. Just this past week we have gone from 8-10 daily feedings to 6 (he is breastfed). For the past couple of days, he has been spitting up A LOT. At least once per feeding, sometimes 2 or 3 times over the course of one hour. He has always been a spitter, but this is more than usual. It is pretty watery and he doesn't seem to show signs of discomfort as he is spitting up. He has been drooling a lot and coughing, which I thought may be signs of teething. He hasn't had a fever. He is obviously gaining weight well. Is he just making a pig of himself, is it the teething, or signs of something more serious? Thanks!
