What causes vomiting after a child finishes drinking formula?

Patient's question:

A 3-month-old baby vomits about half an hour after every feeding, and the frequency of vomiting is quite high. What could be the reason? Also, the baby has green stools, with one to two bowel movements per day. Could you please have a look at this, doctor?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the situation you described, the child's frequent spitting up is mainly due to the adult holding and rocking the child after feeding. Since the child is young, their stomach is in a horizontal position, and overeating, combined with rocking, can lead to further spitting up. It is recommended that you feed the child until they are about 70-80% full. Additionally, after the child finishes feeding, hold them upright and gently pat their back with an empty hand. Avoid rocking the child. The above advice is for the question "Why does a 3-month-old baby vomit every time after finishing milk powder?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
