Patient's question:
My baby has been born for more than twenty days. `These days, he always spits up milk.` If I put him down to lie down, he gets uncomfortable and then starts to cry. `He cries and then spits up.` At first, only a little milk was spit up, but now it's getting more and more.Doctor's answer:
Based on your baby's condition, it is likely that the vomiting is caused by rapid changes in body position. This is more common in infants under 6 months old.Recommendations:
- Do not let the baby lie down immediately after feeding. Hold the baby for a while instead.
- Avoid immediately flipping the baby upside down. This can cause air swallowed during feeding to be expelled suddenly, leading to vomiting.
- Gently pat the baby's back to help large air bubbles in the stomach break into smaller ones and gradually release them. This will prevent vomiting.
Wishing your baby healthy growth! Thank you for your consultation! If you have any unclear questions, feel free to ask me.
