Patient's question:
Baby is 80 days old. Recently, the baby has been spitting up milk quite severely, almost spraying it out each time after feeding. At night, the baby is snoring loudly, but during the day, it's okay. In the past two days, the baby has been having frequent, loose, and foamy bowel movements. Yesterday, Montmorillonite was given, which showed some improvement, but after taking probiotics, the spitting up still hasn't stopped. Please ask the expert what to do.Doctor's answer:
Babies spit up because their digestive system has not fully developed. Their stomachs are flat, which makes it easy for them to spit up. If a baby eats too quickly or adopts an incorrect feeding position, it can also cause spitting up. After the baby finishes feeding, you can hold them upright and gently pat their back to help them burp, which can reduce spitting up. If necessary, you can take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination to check for gastroesophageal reflux disease.
