What is the problem with infant spit-up clumping together?

Patient's question:

Nursing bottle curdling onset time: Over a month. Examination results: No examination. Past treatment and effectiveness: No treatment. Desired assistance: Wants to consult a doctor about what causes curdling in nursing bottles.

Doctor's answer:

1. Adopt the appropriate diaper-changing position: Hold the baby up as much as possible while changing the diaper, keeping the baby's body in a slightly downward 45-degree angle. This allows milk in the stomach to naturally flow into the small intestine, reducing the likelihood of vomiting compared to changing the diaper while lying down.
2. After changing the diaper, make sure the baby burps: Hold the baby upright against your shoulder, gently patting their back to allow them to burp out the air that was swallowed while drinking milk. Then place the baby back in bed, which helps prevent vomiting.
3. Avoid putting the baby on their stomach immediately after feeding. Instead, let them rest in a semi-reclined position for a while before transitioning to their stomach.
