Doctor's answer:
The stomach of a newborn, when viewed from the front, is horizontal and in an unstable state. Additionally, the cardiac orifice (the entrance to the stomach) is still quite loose. This is related to the fact that the baby's stomach has not yet fully developed. If the child vomits every time after feeding, it is necessary for us to appropriately adjust the amount and interval of each feeding. In other words, it is best to feed the baby less frequently but more often, and it is advisable to help the baby burp after each feeding.
