We're at two weeks in and my daughter seems to spit up on me every single time I hold her. I've gone through like half a box of burp cloths today. Is this normal? When does this phase end? I'm not even worried about it getting on me anymore but I'm worried something's wrong with her digestion. Should I call the pediatrician or am I just being a nervous first time dad?
The spit up phase is rough. Mine did this constantly until about 4 months. Make sure you're burping her really well between sides if you're bottle feeding, and after feeding if you're nursing. Also keep her upright for like 20-30 minutes after eating. That helped us a lot.
This is so normal. Every single shirt I owned had spit up on it at that age. The good news is it gets way better after a few months. Invest in some cheap burp cloths because you'll go through them like crazy. And don't wear clothes you care about when you're holding her.

Two weeks in and already dealing with spit up is just the beginning my friend. We went through SO many burp cloths the first few months. My advice: keep them everywhere. On your shoulder, on your lap, in the diaper bag, in the car. You'll be washing them constantly anyway.
