Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help clarify this for you. Does the baby vomit right after drinking milk? If the baby spits up after finishing feeding, it should be considered a normal physiological condition. This is because the baby's gastrointestinal tract hasn't fully developed yet, and the lower esophageal sphincter pressure is low. Additionally, the baby's stomach is in a horizontal position at this time, making it easy for milk to reflux and cause spitting up. I recommend holding the baby upright after feeding and gently patting their back until you hear them burp before laying them down. This is the advice for the question "Why does my 2-month-old baby spit up a lot when feeding?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
