Patient's question:
The baby is two and a half months old and has suddenly started spitting up a lot, losing appetite, and sleeping about 20 hours a day. There's no fever, and the bowel movements are normal (once a day). Spitting up a lot, losing appetite - is everything okay?Doctor's answer:
Baby spitting up is due to the baby's digestive system not being fully developed. The baby's stomach is flat, so it's easy for them to spit up. After the baby finishes feeding, hold them upright and gently pat their back to help them burp. This can reduce the likelihood of spitting up. If necessary, you can take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination to check for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
