Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. By the way, why is it that my baby is spitting up so badly?Doctor's answer:
The stomach of a baby is not like that of older children and adults, which hangs downward; instead, it is in a horizontal position. The stomach has a small capacity and can hold less food, and its contraction function is not fully developed. Therefore, it is very easy for babies to spit up. After feeding, let the baby lie upright on an adult's shoulder and gently pat its back. This action can expel air swallowed into the stomach, reducing stomach pressure.
