Patient's question:
Why do babies under a month old strain, and when they strain, they vomit? Even after eating for a while, straining still causes vomiting.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been mentioned.
Seeking help: Is this normal? Should they be given medication?
Doctor's answer:
This is physiological regurgitation. The function of the infant's cardiac orifice has not yet improved with development, so after feeding, vigorous movement or coughing may cause vomiting again. Do not overfeed each time. After feeding, it is best to have the child lie on an adult's shoulder and gently pat their back with your hand to allow the air swallowed to escape. When lifting and putting down the child after feeding, be gentle and reduce the range of motion. Avoid excessive shaking. During naps, ensure the child sleeps on their side. When vomiting occurs, quickly lower the child's body and head to help them expel the contents.
