Baby spit up: When is it time to call the doctor

If you're reading this you might already have your doc's number entered in your phone, just hesitating to push call. 

• Is this normal? 
  
• Am I overreacting? 
  
• Is my sleep deprivation turning a molehill into a mountain of dirty bibs and burpers?
  

If you're not quite ready to call your doctor you can safely watch this doctor's video first, "How much spit up from my baby is normal before I call the doctor?" by Dr. Ann Kellams. I don't know her obviously but her resume seems legit, and her advice is pretty standard. 

Or you can check out this incredibly helpful Parent Checklist for Reflux from GIKids.org (PDF download). I'd bookmark this or print it. They have a ton of other helpful info on their site too. 

My advice is to always call - no matter what you're feeling - even if the talk or visit just gives you the reassurance to keep tackling each day.
