Doctor's answer:
Spit-up is a common occurrence in infants. An underdeveloped digestive system and improper feeding methods can easily lead to repeated spitting up. It is recommended that during feeding, the child's mouth should fully cover the nipple, leaving no gaps, to prevent air from entering. When using a bottle, the nipple should also be completely filled with milk, and it is not advisable to be afraid of the milk being too forceful and only filling it halfway, as this can easily lead to air being inhaled. After feeding, it is best to have the child lie on an adult's shoulder and gently pat their back to help the ingested air escape. When picking up and putting down the child after feeding, the movements should be gentle and the range of motion should be smaller. Excessive shaking can easily cause milk to spill or lead to spitting up.
