Patient's question:
My baby is 40 days old. Every time she finishes eating milk, she vomits, and it's a lot of vomiting, almost as much as what she eats. If she vomits right after eating, does it mean she hasn't actually eaten anything? Will this affect her growth and development? And she still vomits even after eating for a long time. What could be the reason for this?What kind of help I need: I want to know what the cause is and if there's any way to reduce the vomiting.
Doctor's answer:
Spitting up is a common phenomenon in infants, caused by two main reasons: first, it is a symptom of systemic or gastrointestinal diseases; second, the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the infant's gastrointestinal tract make it prone to spitting up. Overall, spitting up caused by the second reason is more common. It is still recommended that you consult a pediatrician for a specific examination for peace of mind. The above suggestions are for the question "What should I do if my baby spits up severely?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
