    Half of all babies will be spitty. So one out of 2 babies will be spitty. That's normal. Something called projectile vomiting is where babies will spit out a very long distance. If your baby does that once, no problem, but if your baby does that continually, especially between the ages of 4 and 6 six weeks, then that is something you do want to go in to see your doctor for.
