My five month old baby spits up all the time after eating - he seems happy, but the spitting up lasts ALL THE TIME no matter what we feed him. He eats every 3 hours - about 5 oz of formula. He also has cereal and baby food twice a day. When he eats, he burbs and always has some come up, then later, any where from 15 minutes to an hour he burbs and spits up again. Sometimes he doesn't even have to burb, he just shoots it out of his mouth. It is not projectile, just yucky. this lasts all the time. He cries after he spits up. His spit up is also starting to smell like sour milk or rotten eggs. It looks curdled also. e is my first baby, so yes, I am a paranoid parent. We also live in an area with no doctors - the closest one is in Anc 800 miles away. Thank you for your time.
