Patient's question:
My child has been three months old, but the child's appetite has always been very good. Recently, I don't know what's wrong, the child always spits up when feeding milk, and won't even eat a little formula milk. I'm really worried that something is stuck in my child's throat. Every day, the child spits up, is there any way to prevent spitting up?Doctor's answer:
Adopt the proper feeding posture: Try to hold the baby upright while feeding, allowing the baby's body to be in a downward position at about a 45-degree angle. This naturally allows milk from the stomach to flow into the small intestine, reducing the likelihood of vomiting compared to feeding while lying down.After feeding, make sure the baby burps: Hold the baby upright against your shoulder and gently pat their back to help them burp out the air they swallowed while drinking milk. Then, place the baby back in the crib, which helps prevent vomiting.
