What are the reasons for a daughter's milk spray?

Patient's question:

After nursing for about twenty minutes, milk spray occurred. In recent days, regarding the treatment and effect of congenital atrial septal defect: none. Regardless of what kind of assistance: radical cure and cause.

Doctor's answer:

If a small infant does not have pneumonia, colds, gastroenteritis, or other diseases, vomiting milk is a normal phenomenon, which is related to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the small infant's digestive system. The stomach capacity of a small infant is small, and its position is relatively horizontal. The upper opening, which is the cardiac sphincter, is poorly developed, while the lower opening, which is the pyloric sphincter, is well-developed. Therefore, the exit of the infant's stomach is tight at the top and loose at the bottom, making it easy for milk to reflux and cause vomiting. At the same time, improper feeding or care can also cause vomiting in normal small infants. In this case, it is recommended to gently pat the infant's back after feeding until the infant burps, and then lay the infant on their right side (to prevent choking on milk while lying flat, which could lead to pneumonia).
