Doctor's answer:

Hello. Baby spitting up is due to the baby's digestive system not being fully developed. The baby's stomach is flat, so it's easy to spit up. If the baby eats too quickly or adopts an incorrect feeding posture, it can also cause spitting up. If the baby spits up severely, this is normal at this stage. Because within the first three months, the baby's stomach is still flat, so it may be more prone to spitting up. Therefore, don't overfeed the baby in one sitting. After feeding the baby, let the baby lie on your shoulder and gently pat their back. You can also hold the baby upright after they finish eating and gently pat their back to help them burp. This can reduce the likelihood of spitting up. If necessary, you can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is gastroesophageal reflux disease.
