Can loquat leaves be given to newborn babies?

Patient's question:

Can loquat leaves be given to newborn babies? My baby is twenty-one days old, and it hasn't vomited for several days. But today, when I exerted force, it vomited. Before, it would vomit a little after eating. I heard that drinking loquat leaf decoction can stop vomiting.

Doctor's answer:

Parent, the method you mentioned of drinking large amounts of persimmon leaf decoction to treat milk reflux does not have such an effect. I suggest that after feeding your child, gently pat their back to burp them before putting them down. When putting them down, try to slightly elevate their head, then lay them sideways. The child's cardiac notch area is not well developed, so it is prone to milk reflux again. I recommend not changing too much diaper at once and not feeding the child when they are crying severely. I hope this is helpful to you.
