When Does Possetting Stop?

Usually by 18 months it will have stopped completely. From 4 months, as the sphincter muscle matures, and as they eat more solid food and spend more time in an upright position, you can expect it to decrease greatly in most cases.

How do I stop my baby from Possetting?

It is possible to reduce the amount of posseting by:
  1. Being extra gentle when handling and winding your baby.
  2. Keeping your baby upright for around 20 minutes or more after feeding.
  3. Trying to avoid changing their nappy if they have a full stomach.
  4. Giving smaller feeds more frequently.

What is excessive Possetting?

Reflux is when the contents of the stomach are brought back up (regurgitated) either into the oesophagus (food tube) or mouth. This is often called spitting up, posseting or bringing milk up, and is common in babies, especially after a feed.
