Patient's question:
Baby has jaundice, under blue light for 30 days after birth, breastfed for the first 30 days without vomiting, drank formula during the 3 days of blue light treatment, and has been vomiting ever since returning home. What is going on?Past treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered. What kind of help is needed: How can the baby stop vomiting?
Doctor's answer:
Newborns may experience reflux again as their milk intake increases, because the baby's milk intake increases rapidly while the stomach is relatively small, and the stomach muscles are loose, which causes it. It is mostly physiological reflux and can last for several months. If the baby also has abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, it may be caused by indigestion. It is recommended to check the baby's abdominal pain. If there is abdominal pain, you can gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise direction and give the baby probiotics. After feeding, burp the baby and hold him or her for a while. Then lie the baby down in a prone position.
