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-up didn't help. Could you please explain why the baby vomits every time after burping after feeding?Doctor's answer:
Baby spitting up or reflux may be caused by the stomach being in a horizontal position or incomplete development of the cardiac sphincter. There's no need to worry too much; it will improve as the baby grows. In the meantime, the baby can sleep in a head-elevated 30-degree position to alleviate symptoms. Monitor the child's breathing for any abnormalities. Currently, an abdominal X-ray may be considered. If the issue is in the stomach, it's recommended to increase the intake of vegetables, fruits, and fiber-rich foods like chives to promote bowel movement.
