Doctor's answer:

Hello: To prevent infant vomiting, attention should be paid when feeding:
(1)Do not feed the baby when it is crying.
(2)When feeding with a bottle, the nipple must be fully filled with milk, and the hole should not be too large.
(3)After feeding, hold the baby upright, with its head resting on an adult's shoulder, gently pat its back to help expel air from the stomach, and then gently lay it on its side. This can reduce spitting up.

However, it is important to prevent milk from flowing into the ear canal, which could cause otitis media. Therefore, observe regularly, and clean up any milk immediately if it is spit out.
