Doctor's answer:

Baby vomiting milk may be caused by improper feeding methods. Please rest assured. By paying attention to the following aspects, you can prevent baby vomiting milk. In this situation, try to feed the baby while holding him upright, with the baby's body in a downward slope of about 45 degrees. This allows the milk in the stomach to naturally flow into the small intestine, reducing the chance of vomiting compared to feeding while lying down. Also, hold the baby upright against your shoulder, gently patting his back to help him burp out the air that was swallowed along with the milk while feeding. Then, place the baby back in bed, which can help prevent vomiting. The above suggestions are for the question "A 3-month-old baby vomits clear water after sleeping and shrinks after eating." I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
