Patient's question:
My child just turned one month old, but he spits up almost every day, and the amount is quite significant. When the baby is active, milk flows back. I took him to the hospital, but the doctor couldn't explain the reason either. My wife also pats the baby's back after feeding, but it doesn't help. What should I do? It's quite worrying to see him like this. Is there any method to reduce the baby's spitting up?Doctor's answer:
When the baby finishes feeding, let the child sit on your lap and gently burp them until they burp. Then, lower the child. When lying down, prop the baby's head up. If the child still cannot burp, you can also try rubbing their back with your palm or elevate the child's back to keep their upper body slightly reclined for about half an hour.When feeding, if the baby cries, don’t feed them immediately, as this can easily cause them to swallow air and lead to vomiting. Additionally, if the baby catches a cold, they may also vomit more easily.
