What is the reason for the baby's hoarse throat after finishing milk?

Patient's question:

My baby is already two months old. After eating milk, there is always a hoarse sound coming from his throat. About the past treatment and its effectiveness: choked on amniotic fluid What kind of help do you want: What is going on?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, the recurrence of spitting up in infants is a normal physiological phenomenon. The reasons are as follows:
1. The gastric function of infants is not fully developed, and their lower esophageal sphincter is underdeveloped, which cannot effectively prevent the reflux of gastric contents.
2. During infancy, unlike adults, the stomach of infants is often in a horizontal position. After defecation, it may lead to reflux and subsequent spitting up.
Based on the situation you described, the following suggestions are provided:
Appropriate feeding, avoiding overfeeding in one sitting. After feeding, the infant should be placed in a left lateral position to prevent recurrence of spitting up.
