Patient's question:
My baby is now 40 days old and has been exclusively formula-fed, with no breastfeeding. He always vomits after feeding, especially right after drinking, when he spits out large amounts of milk. A short while later, he still vomits, but this time it's in a curd-like consistency. If he's given water an hour after feeding, he even vomits the milk along with it. When he finishes drinking, I hold him upright to burp him, but sometimes he burps first and doesn't vomit, while other times he spits out a large amount.My baby is only formula-fed and has never been breastfed. He's been on formula exclusively. What could be going on? How can this be treated to make it better? He's been vomiting for several days now, and he's not gaining weight. What should I do to treat him, and what is the underlying cause of this? Is there something wrong with him?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the above condition involves problems that arise after a child frequently spits up milk. There are two possible reasons for these symptoms: either a cold or overfeeding. You can try feeding him a bit less to see if that helps. If the dry heaving is caused by a cold, you can take Monk Fruit Powder or Sizimo Oral Liquid. Additionally, make sure to keep the child warm and encourage him to drink more warm water. After feeding, gently pat his back to help prevent spitting up. The above advice is for the question "How to treat a child who always spits up milk." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
