My girl has been spitting up a lot and recently it seems to have increased. She is combination fed breast milk and similac advanced organic formula. Her spit up is sometimes thick mucus, cottage cheese looking chunks, or clear liquid that smells like stomach acid. She seems happy after she spits up, she has no problem gaining weight. I know there is medicine for this, but we prefer not to medicate her unless necessary. My question is, does this spit up cause damage if untreated? Does the stomach acid do permanent damage to her esophagus or anything like that?
We elevate her when we feed her, are diligent about burping, and hold her upright for 15-20 minutes after feeding her.
