Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on lately, the bottle of milk I drink always has foam and looks like beer flowers. After taking it out to drink, foam still comes out from the nipple. After drinking the milk, I lift him up and he spits up and passes gas. He has never had this phenomenon before when drinking milk.Additionally, after the baby finishes drinking milk, I burp him, but it takes 15-20 minutes for him to burp. I don't know how to solve this situation of the baby drinking milk and burping.
Doctor's answer:
Most babies vomit a lot of milk several times a day in the first few months after birth. In the first few months of life, the cardiac sphincter is still quite loose. Milk and other substances entering the stomach can flow back into the esophagus more easily. Additionally, newborns have a much higher larynx position, and when they feed, they can inhale thicker air, making it easier for the milk to be vomited out. If the baby is in good condition, no treatment is needed. It is recommended to keep the upper body in an elevated position during vomiting to prevent aspiration, feed in smaller amounts each time. If bottle-feeding, choose an appropriate nipple to prevent the baby from inhaling too much air.
