: How do you know that a 2 month old has acid reflux or is allegric to the formula? My son spits up ALOT and looks like cottage cheese. NO FEVER. I have to a add something. Some reflux is purely a physical problem, with no relief from switching formulas. It is due to spasms, or incomplete tightening of the bottom of the esophagus where it joins to the stomach. The ony help is to give antacids as a way of preventing acid damage to the esophagus. My daughter projectile vomited till she was 9 or 10 months old. It magically stopped over the course of a couple of weeks. So keep in mind that spitting up dribbles down there chin, vomiting hits Dad on the other side of her bedroom. Our other baby, now four months, spits up often, and I thank my lucky stars for that. Some babies are just puky. If there is no pain, or grimacing etc. That may be all you have on you r hands. Thomas quite often smiles as it runs down his chin :). If concerned though of course talk to your Dr. ASAP. Good luck.
