What kind of help do you want: Is there any way to prevent him from spitting up?
Doctor's answer:
Spit-up is a common occurrence in infants, and an immature digestive system along with improper feeding methods can easily lead to repeated spitting up. It is recommended that during feeding, the child's mouth should fully cover the nipple without any gaps to prevent air from entering. When using a bottle, the nipple should also be completely filled with milk, and it is not advisable to worry about the milk being too forceful and only filling it halfway, as this can easily lead to the intake of air. After feeding, it is best to have the child lie on an adult's shoulder and gently pat their back to help the ingested air escape. When lifting and putting down the child after feeding, the movements should be gentle and the range of motion should be minimized. Excessive shaking can easily cause milk to spill or lead to spitting up.
