How to treat a baby's gagging and passing gas

Patient's question:

After the baby was born for 14 days, they vomited intermittently for a week. Usually, they don't sleep before vomiting and seem very comfortable afterward, falling asleep immediately. Otherwise, they want to eat again. The baby's urination and defecation are normal, and they occasionally sneeze. I don't know what is causing the baby's condition like this?

Doctor's answer:

This may not necessarily be abnormal; it is more likely caused by the baby drinking milk too quickly or the mother feeding too quickly. It is recommended that after feeding, one should avoid frequent changes in body position and try to maintain a calm and still state as much as possible to prevent spitting up. If spitting up occurs frequently, it is best to have the baby checked by a doctor. When feeding, it is advisable to do it in small amounts and multiple times, and remember to burp the baby after feeding.
