Patient's question:
Tianjin Medical Description: Yesterday, the child was 43 days old and had a pediatric health check-up. The doctor said the child's jaundice level was 4.5, which is high, and required stopping breastfeeding for 3 days. The child started vomiting after drinking formula milk, with a gushing spray-like motion. Now, even when breastfeeding, the child is still vomiting. Please explain the cause. Thank you.Past Treatment and Effect: No treatment, currently ongoing.
What kind of help is desired: A phone reply would be best.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, such a situation is considered to be caused by indigestion, triggered by factors such as excessive drinking, catching cold, and improper feeding.Recommendations:
In terms of treatment, it is suggested to use Chicken Gizzard for children. Timely feeding is recommended, and a feeding method of "fewer meals with larger portions" should be encouraged. Regular abdominal massage for the baby can promote digestion and improve gastrointestinal function.
If the baby does not like formula milk, offer preferred dairy products instead. Do not force the baby to eat foods they dislike. You may try giving the baby some yogurt.
It is recommended to adopt an appropriate feeding posture: hold the baby upright while feeding, with the baby's body at a 45-degree incline. This allows milk in the stomach to naturally flow into the small intestine, reducing the likelihood of spitting up compared to feeding while lying down.
