Patient's question:
The baby is 4 and a half months old. During the postpartum period, they had choking episodes and coughed occasionally, which we didn't pay much attention to. Today, the coughing has become severe, and they've vomited twice during the day and are refusing to eat milk.Doctor's answer:
Since newborn babies' stomach muscles have not yet developed and their stomachs are in a horizontal position, they may experience vomiting after feeding. This is a common occurrence during infancy. It is recommended to pay attention to keeping warm daily, especially the soles of the feet and the abdomen. Avoid overfeeding the baby during each feeding session. After changing diapers, hold the baby upright to burp a few times, which can help alleviate choking. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
