Why does a baby spit up during the postpartum period?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Why is it that babies spit up so much during the postpartum period?

Doctor's answer:

It's normal for babies to spit up milk. My baby used to change several outfits in a day. After feeding, hold him upright and gently pat his back to burp him if possible. Once he's burped, try not to move him too much and avoid making him strain. That should help.
Based on your symptoms, it seems to be a result of blocked Qi causing intestinal gas. I recommend regulating Qi and resolving stagnation. You can try taking Liu Mo Tang for treatment while also applying local massage. Monitor his condition closely.
