Patient's question:
Babies born in August, they have been eating breast milk for a month, now they are eating cow's milk, and they need to drink 4-5 buckets of 900 grams of milk per month. But every time after finishing the milk at night, the baby always vomits a little, and I'm very worried. As a first-time mother, I don't have much experience in this regard. Is there any method to prevent the baby from vomiting milk? Is there any way to prevent the baby from vomiting milk?Doctor's answer:
Because the baby's digestive system is not yet fully developed, compared to adults, the baby's stomach is in a horizontal position. Do not overfeed the baby, as their stomach capacity is small, and overfeeding can easily lead to vomiting. The feeding speed should not be too fast. The feeding posture should be correct to prevent the baby from lying flat on their stomach. Before feeding, it is best to change the diaper first to prevent the baby from tossing and turning after feeding, which can cause vomiting. When feeding, avoid letting too much air enter the baby's body. After feeding, you can hold the baby upright, gently pat their back to help release the air.
