Fact: Baby's spit up. It seems gross, but it's completely normal. Your baby's stomach is learning how to work. That's a tall task!

If you have a "spitter" (as they're affectionately known), keep some burp cloths nearby. Two other tips: burp them frequently during a feeding (like every five minutes) and keep them upright for at least 20 minutes after a feeding.

Trust us-you're going to want a burp cloth on hand 24/7 to help with baby's messes.

Percentiles. You've been hearing this word a lot since your little one was born. Here's why they're important: your baby's pediatrician uses a growth chart (based on gender and data compiled from diverse populations) to track weight, height and head circumference at each well-baby visit. Based on the numbers, your child will fall within a certain percentile. Try not to stress out on the specific percentile number, though.

Babies go through a bunch of growth spurts during the first year. Although they can happen at any time, a three-month growth spurt is common. Aside from needing to buy new clothes at a moment's notice, other signs of a growth spurt can include changes in sleep, some extra fussiness and an increase in hunger.

Many of us are finding a new at-home rhythm with our babies right now. Ovia Health's free parenting app lets you track feedings, diapers and sleep all in one place to help figure out your baby's routine. You can also share photos and videos of your baby through the app to keep loved ones feeling close.

There's no better time to get outdoors with your family than when the weather's mild and the sun is shining.

So your baby just stopped eating and is crying again immediately. You've tried burping, swaying, swaddling, but nothing will quiet them except more milk. This is called cluster feeding, which can feel like a cluster-something-else to the nursing mom. Week-old babies sometimes want to nurse for 20 minutes or more every hour for hours on end, particularly in the late afternoons or evenings.

Lactation consultants recommend frequent nursing during this time. The schedules and regimented feedings can wait till baby is over a month old.

And it usually kicks in at night (just what you need.). Here's what you need to know.
