Patient's question:
My baby has been born for more than twenty days. `These days, he keeps spitting up milk.` If I put him down to lie down, he feels uncomfortable and will cry. `Then he will spit up milk.` At first, only a little milk was spit up, but now it's spitting up 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 come up suddenly, leading to vomiting.
- Gently pat the baby's back to help large air bubbles in the stomach break into smaller ones and gradually expel them. This will prevent vomiting.
Wishing your baby healthy growth! Thank you for your consultation! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask me.
