6 months and I don't know what to do.

We are 7 months and crawling and have the same problem, I just use resolve on the carpet, keep as much covered with a blanket as possible and change his clothes frequently. Just to let you know 4-7 months seems to be the peak of reflux for most babies due to increased activity, it will get better I just can’t tell you when, I am waiting for that myself. Don’t wish them growing up too fast, these are precious days, spit up covered maybe, but precious none the less.

I wish I had better advice to offer. As much as I used to hate it when the doc told me to wait for her to outgrow it, f your little one isn’t in pain, it might just be a waiting game. Like someone else said, you’re right in the peak of it right now. The zantac won’t stop the spitting, just help to control the acid. If she’s in pain, you might want to look into a PPI.

Is your little one in pain? Or just a happy-spitter? (pukes but doesn’t care)

if she is not in pain why does she need the zantac to begin with? zantac doesnt stop spitting, it blocks acid so baby wont be in pain. sweetcheeks2007-09-18 17:39:52

she spits up liquids because they are thin. that is normal. there is no need to have her medicated.

The Zantac will not help the spitting up(which is referred to as simply “reflux”), but will help with other acid reflux symptoms, such as pain, clearing the throat, poor sleep. If she’s on the good dose of Zantac and just spitting up without painful acid, (as they say a “happy spitter”) then it sounds like the Zantac is doing its job. My little one was on 30mg of Prevacid and Neocate and still puked with the best of them for a LONG time, but she was happy and not in pain. She gained weight, slept well, and was always smiling. She stopped spitting up as much around 7 months or so, and I’d say by 8 months almost completely stopped. If your little one is happy, then you just need to surrender to the spit up and buy a good carpet cleaner!
