Patient's question:
My baby is only 42 days old and vomits a lot of milk at night, and it happens around 19:00 every day. There are also some small red spots on her face. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The newborn's stomach hasn't fully developed yet, so spitting up is a normal phenomenon. The small red spots could be due to heat or possibly milk rash. For spitting up, you can try holding the baby upright after each feeding and gently patting their back. If the red spots are milk rash, be careful not to get milk on the baby's face. If it's due to heat, pay attention to the room temperature. Don't dress the child too warmly—just enough is suitable. Choose loose and breathable fabrics for the clothes.
