Patient's question:
Recently, after eating breast milk, the baby has been spitting up in large amounts. If not fed, they cry uncontrollably. Although the baby has spit up a lot, they still seem unsatisfied and want to be fed. Additionally, when awake, they need to be fed every hour.Current feeding method: Exclusive breastfeeding.
Previous treatment and outcomes:
At one month old, the baby also experienced spitting up. The doctor considered it normal, but in our case, it was not just spilling milk—it was spitting up in large amounts, with occasional forceful, spitting up.
Help needed:
What could be the reason? Is it due to underdeveloped gastrointestinal function or something else? How should this be handled, and what precautions should be taken?
Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of a baby's spitting up is gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is directly related to the baby's poor appetite. 1. Oral Domperidone suspension can be administered for dietary adjustment. After each feeding, it is necessary to hold the baby upright for a while. 2. If repeated spitting up is accompanied by constipation or abdominal pain, it is still necessary to rule out obstructive diseases. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
