Quick Tip for Parents with Babies That Spit Up

Here's a tip I received from Alejandra's Dad:

Clark, like many newborns, is prone to spitting up.  The sphincter between the stomach and the esophagus is immature and lets food move back up the esophagus during digestion. Most babies grow out of it.  To help: you can place the baby's crib on a slight angle (say put a couple of books under one end.) It should help the baby keep his food down when laying in his crib. Thanks, gravity.
