Patient's question:
The child is 1 year and 7 months old. Recently, after drinking formula milk, they have been vomiting. Even the porridge from breakfast is vomited out when they drink milk at night. This has been happening for several days now. Is it an issue with the formula milk or a gastrointestinal problem? What should I do? Seeing the child like this makes my heart ache so much. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Based on your statement, if you are currently experiencing this symptom, it is recommended that you pay close attention. Try to use your preferred diaper-changing positions to pick up the baby and change the diaper, keeping the baby's body in a slightly downward position at about 45°. This way, the milk in the stomach will naturally flow into the small intestine, which may be slightly more effective than changing the diaper while lying down and may reduce the chance of vomiting milk again. After feeding, gently pat the baby's back until they burp. So far, after each feeding, we have maintained the feeding position for three to five minutes before picking the baby up.
