Baby is 52 days old, everything eaten today has come up in vomit, what should I do?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my baby is 52 days old. All the milk he ate today came back up. What should I do? I'm very worried.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
Expected help: No help for the time being

Doctor's answer:

In the first few months, babies may experience recurrent spitting up. This is because their digestive system has not fully developed, and their stomach is in a horizontal position without forming a curve. If your baby is eating well, sleeping deeply, and in good spirits, there is no need to worry too much. After each feeding, avoid immediately placing them flat. Instead, hold them upright and gently pat their back to expel air from their stomach. If you can burp them successfully, the frequency of spitting up may increase.
It is recommended to keep your baby in a right-side-lying position to prevent choking. Do not let your baby eat too quickly, as this can easily cause them to swallow air. If your baby shows symptoms such as poor spirits again, it is important to have them examined by a pediatrician.
