Patient's question:
A ten-month-old baby only eats milk and does not take complementary foods. Sometimes they vomit milk and feel nauseous. What is the matter?Previous treatment and effectiveness: None.
What help is desired: How to feed complementary foods. Is it a digestive problem?
Doctor's answer:
Sometimes a child spitting up is normal, as their stomach is horizontal at this age and it's easy to spit up.1. At this age, they should have already started eating solid foods. The older they get, the harder it becomes to feed them.
2. Solid foods progress from fine to coarse: start with rice powder, rice porridge, vegetables, and fruits, then gradually move on to eggs and meat. Usually, introduce one new food every few days, transitioning from purees to small pieces. Additionally, adding solid foods now is also beneficial for teething.
3. If the child occasionally feels nauseous or spits up, don’t let them move or lie down immediately after eating. Gently pat their back to help them burp, which can alleviate some discomfort.
