Patient's question:
A 40-day-old baby always spits up like an adult feels nauseous and queasy. After eating once, they spit up every four or five minutes. The symptom of spitting up after each feeding lasts for one to two hours. Even holding them upright to sleep doesn't help, and sometimes they get choking in their sleep. Probiotics have been given continuously, but it seems to have little effect.Doctor's answer:
The digestive system of a small infant has not yet fully developed, and the lower esophageal sphincter is not well-developed. At this time, when the child consumes a large amount of milk or air, it may lead to symptoms such as nausea, dry heaving, and spitting up. This is a normal physiological phenomenon.After feeding, parents can hold the child upright and gently pat their back to help them expel the air, which may increase the likelihood of spitting up. It is recommended to consult a doctor for appropriate supplementation of probiotics and digestive aids to gradually regulate and stabilize the system. Feeding in small, frequent amounts is advisable, and it is important not to overfeed in a single session. Combining this with traditional Chinese massage therapy, while taking care to prevent colds and avoid getting chilled, can also be beneficial.
