    DD2 was the same...it was a bad time, as all she did was cry and chuck - she only got better once i got an official diagnosis of Silent Reflux, for which she was put on Losec suspension. She was 12 weeks by that stage. She was on the Losec for 6 months and by 10 months she was pretty much "normal"....its hard hun

    DD was a bit chucky, but she was on Ranitadine from birth as Gastro-kids are usually chuckers.
    Without medication it would have been constant.
    Hope things ease soon.

    DS is a happy chucker, he'd often bring up little bits after a feed and occasionally we'd have soaked-to-the-skin-both-need-showers spews as well. It's started to ease now, the little spills eased a fair bit by about 4 months and are pretty rare now, we still get the odd huge one, but they're also a lot less frequent.

    DD was the same, she came good once she started having regular solids if I remember rightly.

    DD was a spewy Bub and it probably eased around 9mths and every now and then she will have a spew still.

    My happy chucker pretty much totally stopped by 12 months, but it took until about 8 or 9 months before it started to ease up.

    Ds was a happy chucked, but it really eased off around 4-5 months. Small frequent feeds have always suited him better.

    Buster is a happy chucker, we go through soooo many bibs and outfits! He is about 4.5 months and is still going strong. I try to give him smaller more frequent breastfeeds which has helped a little, not much though!

    Around 6 months here too, sitting up more often helped a lot

    Dd2 was a happy chucker and it stopped around 7 months when she could sit and was on solids. She has literally chucked twice since then and she is over 3 so when it stopped, it really stopped!

    6 months today and the chucking has eased but not stopped. She is not sitting up yet though so you would expect it will get better when she is.

    DD was a happy chucker and she settled down at about 6mths old - she was a ff baby and had thickener in her bottles to help keep feeds down.

    DS2 was also a chucker but he only stopped about 4 weeks ago (at about 10mths). He was sitting up early and crawling at 6mths but he only stopped once he started to feed himself solids. He also had thickener in his bottles and even when they started on solids he would always bring things back up, now the twins eat the same food we eat he has been fine, although I don't have the option of lazy days with them as if he has a jar of baby food he will chuck that back up.

    Our paed told me that until the muscle around the stomach opening strengthens he would continue to chuck and the time that takes varies with every baby. So DD took about 6mths, DS1 never had any issues and DS2 took 10mths.
