Patient's question:
Recently, after eating breast milk, the baby has been spitting up in large amounts. If not given milk, they cry uncontrollably. Although the baby has spit up a lot, they still seem unsatisfied, and they need to be fed every hour when awake.Breastfeeding only. Past treatment and effectiveness: At one month old, the baby also experienced this. The doctor thought spitting up was normal, but in our case, it was not just spilling milk—it was spitting up in large amounts, and occasionally even projectile vomiting.
What kind of help do you need: What could be the cause? Is it due to underdeveloped gastrointestinal function or something else? How should it 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 metoclopramide 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.
