How to treat baby spit-up

Patient's question:

Is it related to not having enough milk in the last two days and mixing formula?

Doctor's answer:

Some babies have the problem of spitting up right after birth. By the second month, they still spit up frequently. Some spit up shortly after feeding, while others spit up about 20 minutes after feeding. What could be the reason for this?
It turns out that the human stomach has two openings: the upper opening is called the cardia, and the lower opening is called the pylorus. The cardia muscle is relatively loose, while the pylorus muscle tends to spasm. The milk that the baby spits up is in a curd-like consistency, which is the result of milk protein forming curds under the action of gastric acid.
