Doctor's answer:
According to your description, your baby is being mixed-fed. Recently, he has been vomiting while breastfeeding, which is a manifestation of milk regurgitation. It is suggested that the baby may be inhaling air while drinking milk, leading to this issue. It is recommended to pay attention to the baby's diet and ensure that the mother feeds the baby in a calm and upright position to avoid the baby inhaling cold air, which may cause vomiting. You can often massage the baby's abdomen. If the vomiting is severe, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up and pay close attention to the baby's bowel movement.
